Powell won't play Saturday against the Bulls due to personal reasons.
It's unclear at the moment exactly what Powell is dealing with, but for now, he should be considered questionable for Sunday's rematch with Chicago. The Heat will be missing three of their five regular starters for Saturday's game, so Bam Adebayo will likely be very busy on offense, and Jaime Jaquez should get some time to shine.
