Heat Clear Norman Powell and Tyler Herro to Play vs. Magic After Injury Absences

Miami clears its leading scorer from a week-to-week groin strain, signaling a cautious step toward stabilizing an injury-thinned rotation.

Overview

  • Norman Powell is available for Saturday’s home game against the Orlando Magic after missing seven games with a right groin strain.
  • Tyler Herro is also available after two games out with left quadriceps soreness, returning as Miami seeks backcourt stability.
  • Powell had been listed week-to-week with no firm timetable, reflecting the team’s conservative approach to soft-tissue injuries.
  • In his first season with Miami, Powell is averaging 22.5 points on 47.3% shooting from the field and 39.0% from three in 49 games.
  • Andrew Wiggins (toe) and Nikola Jovic (back) remain out, as Miami (38-29, sixth in East) hosts Orlando (37-28, fifth).
