Fleming (coach's decision) went unused off the bench Sunday in the Suns' 120-110 win over the Bulls.

With head coach Jordan Ott electing to reduce his rotation to nine men Sunday, Fleming ended up being the odd man out. The rookie second-round pick had appeared in each of the Suns' previous 20 games, averaging 6.8 points, 3.6 rebounds and 1.4 three-pointers in 18.9 minutes while shooting 45.4 percent from the field. He'll likely find playing time difficult to come by moving forward now that Phoenix is at close to full strength.

Powell (illness) was able to practice Monday, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports.

Powell is trending in the right direction after missing the past four games for Miami. A return against the Raptors on Tuesday appears to be on the table.

Herro (personal) practiced with Miami on Monday, Barry Jackson of the Miami Heraldreports.

Presumably, Herro will be back in the lineup Tuesday against the Raptors after missing Saturday's game versus Washington. More clarity will be known when the team releases its official injury report Monday afternoon.
