Heat's Norman Powell: Iffy with groin soreness
Rotowire
Powell is questionable for Tuesday's game against Charlotte due to right groin soreness, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
Powell was a very late addition to the injury report, which is a big concern for fantasy managers. It's possible the Heat let Powell warm up before deciding on his status. If Powell is unable to play, Miami will need guys like Dru Smith, Andrew Wiggins, Jaime Jaquez and Nikola Jovic to pick up some of the scoring load.

Heat's Norman Powell: Leads Heat with 29 points
Rotowire
Powell racked up 29 points (7-15 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 12-12 FT), seven rebounds, three assists and three steals in 32 minutes during Sunday's 115-107 victory over New York.
Powell tied Bam Adebayo with a team-leading 15 shot attempts, and he knocked down all 12 of his free throws to help the Heat improve to 2-1 on the season. Through three games, Powell is comfortably leading the Heat in nine-category fantasy value with averages of 24.0 points, 7.3 rebounds, 2.7 assists, 2.0 steals and 3.0 three-pointers on 47.7 percent shooting from the field.

Heat's Norman Powell: Scores game-high 28 points in loss
Rotowire
Powell scored a game-high 28 points (9-19 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 6-7 FT) Wednesday to go with nine rebounds, four assists, one steal, one block and three turnovers across 36 minutes in a 125-121 loss to the Magic.
Powell was Miami's primary option on offense, and that should remain the case until Tyler Herro (ankle) returns. He's locked into big minutes and a heavy usage in Miami, so he should be able to flirt with top-50 value while Herro is sidelined.

Heat's Norman Powell: Tallies 23 points vs. Memphis
Rotowire
Powell logged 23 points (8-13 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 4-5 FT), six assists and one steal over 25 minutes during the Heat's 141-125 preseason loss to the Grizzlies on Friday.
Powell saved his best performance of the preseason for last, leading the Heat in three-pointers and assists while finishing tied with Bam Adebayo in scoring. Powell was acquired by the Heat from the Clippers in early July, and the veteran guard should see a sizeable offensive role to start the 2025-26 regular season for as long as Tyler Herro (ankle/foot) is on the shelf.

Powell closed with 17 points (4-14 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 7-9 FT), four rebounds, two steals and one assist over 28 minutes in Monday's 119-118 preseason loss to the Hawks.
Powell struggled with efficiency from the field and committed a team-high five turnovers but still tied Ethan Thompson and Jaime Jaquez for the team lead in scoring thanks to his success at the free-throw line. The veteran guard will have one more chance to see preseason action Friday against the Grizzlies before the regular season tips off.

Heat's Norman Powell: Scores 18 in preseason loss
Rotowire
Powell totaled 18 points (6-12 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 3-3 FT), two rebounds and one assist over 16 minutes in Monday's 103-93 preseason loss to the Bucks.
Powell made the most of his limited minutes, matching Kel'el Ware with a game-high 18 points. It was a notable improvement from his team debut Saturday, when he finished with five points (2-6 FG, 1-3 3Pt) in 13 minutes against the Magic. His preseason workload remains to be seen, but Powell figures to be a key offensive piece for the Heat to open the regular season, especially with Tyler Herro (foot/ankle) sidelined for an extended period.

Heat's Norman Powell: Scores five points in team debut
Rotowire
Powell recorded five points (2-6 FG, 1-3 3Pt) and one assist in 13 minutes during Saturday's 126-118 preseason loss to the Magic.
Powell was inefficient in limited action in his Heat debut. He was traded to the team in July in a deal that sent John Collins to the Clippers, and Kevin Love, Kyle Anderson and a 2027 second-round pick to the Jazz. Powell should see high usage with his new team, especially early in the season, as Tyler Herro (foot/ankle) is expected to miss some time.

Heat's Norman Powell: Traded to Miami
Rotowire
The Clippers traded Powell to the Heat on Monday in a three-team deal that sent John Collins (ankle) to Los Angeles, while the Jazz received Kevin Love, Kyle Anderson and a 2027 second-round pick, ESPN's Shams Charania reports.
Powell, who is on an expiring contract worth $20.48 million, had been mentioned in the rumor mill previously, but this still comes out of nowhere. Powell was terrific during the 2024-25 regular season, appearing in 60 games with 21.2 points, 3.2 rebounds, 2.1 assists, 1.2 steals and 2.9 three-pointers. In Miami, he figures to be a key complementary role player on the wings, giving support to Tyler Herro and Bam Adebayo as a potential third option on offense.

Clippers' Norman Powell: Offers little resistance in loss
Rotowire
Powell ended Saturday's 120-101 loss to Denver in Game 7 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs with nine points (4-11 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), two rebounds, two assists and one block in 32 minutes.
Powell saved his worst game for last, offering very little in terms of meaningful production. It was a disappointing end for the Clippers, who fell behind by more than 30 points early in the fourth quarter. Despite the rough night, Powell can hold his head high after putting together the best season of his career, averaging 21.2 points per game while adding 1.2 steals and 2.9 three-pointers.

Clippers' Norman Powell: Gets hot late in Game 4 loss
Rotowire
Powell had 22 points (7-13 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 4-6 FT), four rebounds, one assist and one steal across 36 minutes during Saturday's 101-99 loss to the Nuggets in Game 4 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.
Powell scored at least 20 points for the second straight game, connecting on a couple of late threes as part of a final-quarter surge by the Clippers. Despite eventually going down courtesy of an Aaron Gordon put-back dunk, Los Angeles will feel as though they have some momentum heading into Game 5 on Tuesday.

Clippers' Norman Powell: Efficient in victory
Rotowire
Powell had 20 points (7-12 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 3-3 FT), one rebound, three assists and one steal across 29 minutes during Thursday's 117-83 win over the Nuggets in Game 3 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.
After struggling in the first two games of the series, Powell bounced back in Game 3 with his first 20-point outing of the playoffs. Across Powell's first three playoff outings against Denver, he is averaging 15.0 points, 3.3 assists, 1.7 steals and 1.3 rebounds in 33.0 minutes.

Clippers' Norman Powell: Struggles in loss
Rotowire
Powell recorded 12 points (5-12 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 0-1 FT), three rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal over 37 minutes during Saturday's 112-110 overtime loss to Denver in Game 1 of their Western Conference quarterfinal-round series.
Powell struggled to make an impact in the Game 1 loss, as he couldn't get going offensively. The veteran small forward is coming off what may have been the best regular season of his career, averaging a career-high 21.8 points per game. Unfortunately, he won't be helping the Clippers much in the postseason if he continues to underwhelm on the offensive end of the floor, as 12 points won't cut it in a series against a high-powered Denver attack.

Clippers' Norman Powell: Iffy to face Sacramento
Rotowire
Powell (shoulder) is questionable for Friday's game against the Kings, Tomer Azarly of ClutchPoints.com reports.
Powell is in danger of missing his second consecutive contest due to a right shoulder injury. If the veteran swingman remains sidelined against Sacramento, Bogdan Bogdanovic and Kris Dunn are candidates for an uptick in playing time.
