Powell (calf) said he will play Thursday against the Nets, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Powell was recently upgraded from questionable to probable after missing Wednesday's practice. However, the star guard confirmed that he will be in the lineup to face the Nets on the front end of this back-to-back set. With Tyler Herro (toe) already ruled out, Powell is likely to see increased usage Thursday.

Heat's Norman Powell: Listed as questionable
Rotowire
Powell (calf) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Nets.
Powell was unable to practice Wednesday due to left calf tightness. The issue sounds somewhat minor, but Thursday's game is the front end of a back-to-back set and the Heat may proceed with caution. Tyler Herro (toe) has already been ruled out, so Powell could soak up extra usage if he's able to give it a go.

Heat's Norman Powell: Sits out practice
Rotowire
Powell did not practice Wednesday due to calf tightness, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
This appears to be a new issue for Powell, and it's not great news for a Miami team that already has plenty of injury concerns -- Tyler Herro (toe) and Nikola Jovic (elbow) both missed practice as well. The Heat play the first game of a back-to-back set Thursday against the Nets, and you have to wonder if a maintenance day could be on the table for Powell.

Heat's Norman Powell: Ties team high in scoring
Rotowire
Powell ended with 20 points (5-15 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 8-10 FT), three rebounds and four assists across 34 minutes during Monday's 106-96 loss to the Raptors.
Powell tied for the team lead in points during Monday's low-scoring affair, and his contributions from the foul line helped offset a poor shooting display from the floor. The swingman's usage has held up well since Tyler Herro (toe) made his season debut in late November, with Powell averaging 22.3 points, 3.4 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 2.6 three-pointers per game in his last seven outings.

Rotowire
Powell posted 21 points (8-19 FG, 4-12 3Pt, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds, three steals and two assists across 34 minutes in Tuesday's 117-108 loss to the Magic.
Powell didn't deliver his most efficient performance, though he still led Miami in points and triples, albeit in a losing effort. The veteran swingman was productive on both ends of the floor, grabbing at least seven boards for the third time this season while tallying a game-high mark in steals. Powell has scored 18-plus points in five straight games, averaging 25.0 points, 3.4 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 1.0 steals per game during that span.

Heat's Norman Powell: Will play Saturday
Rotowire
Powell (ankle) is available for Saturday's game against the Kings, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Powell will suit up in the second leg of Miami's back-to-back set after tweaking his left ankle during Friday's loss to the Magic. Over his last five appearances, the veteran swingman has averaged 25.8 points, 3.2 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 1.0 steals in 31.0 minutes per contest. With Tyler Herro (toe) and Davion Mitchell (groin) sidelined, the Heat will need Powell to take on more scoring and playmaking duties.

Heat's Norman Powell: Expected to play Saturday
Rotowire
Powell (ankle) is probable for Saturday's game against the Kings, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
Powell tweaked his left ankle during Friday's loss to the Magic, but he finished the game, racking up 28 points (9-18 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 8-11 FT), three rebounds, four assists and one block across 32 minutes, and will likely be back in action during the second half of Miami's back-to-back set. The ankle injury caused the veteran to miss Wednesday's loss in Dallas, so while it appears to be a minor issue, it's something worth monitoring.

Heat's Norman Powell: Scores 28 points on 18 shots
Rotowire
Powell racked up 28 points (9-18 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 8-11 FT), three rebounds, four assists and one block across 32 minutes during Friday's 106-105 loss to the Magic.
Powell tweaked his left ankle during this game, and while he was able to play through it, it wouldn't be shocking to see him pop up on the injury report ahead of Saturday's game versus Sacramento. If Powell does need to sit out the second leg of this back-to-back set, Jaime Jaquez, Pelle Larsson and Dru Smith would likely see a boost in minutes.

Heat's Norman Powell: Returning to action Friday
Rotowire
Powell (ankle) is available for Friday's game against the Magic, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
Powell was initially listed as questionable but will return to action Friday after missing Wednesday's loss to the Mavericks. With Tyler Herro (toe) sidelined, Powell may see increased usage Friday, and it's unclear if either guard will suit up during the second half of Miami's weekend back-to-back set against the Kings on Saturday. Over his last 14 appearances, Powell has averaged 25.2 points, 2.9 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.1 steals in 30.5 minutes.

Heat's Norman Powell: Questionable for Friday
Rotowire
Powell (ankle) is questionable to play Friday in Orlando.
Powell missed Wednesday's loss to the Mavericks due to the ankle issue, and it looks like he might skip Friday's game as well, with it coming as the first of a back-to-back set. If both Powell and Tyler Herro (toe) are out, Jaime Jaquez might be able to start, and Bam Adebayo would see a ton of shots falling his way.

Heat's Norman Powell: Ruled out with ankle sprain
Rotowire
Powell (ankle) is out for Wednesday's game against the Mavericks.
Powell will require at least one contest to recover from a sprained left ankle. The star swingman can be considered day-to-day ahead of the first half of Miami's next back-to-back set, which begins Friday in Orlando. Pelle Larsson, who is questionable with a sprained toe, could fill in for Powell in the starting five. Jaime Jaquez should also be in line for an increased role.

Heat's Norman Powell: Questionable with ankle sprain
Rotowire
Powell (ankle) is questionable for Wednesday's game against Dallas, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
A sprained left ankle is jeopardizing Powell's chances of playing Wednesday. The star swingman could go through pregame warmups before the Heat decide if he'll be available. If Powell can't go, Jaime Jaquez and Dru Smith should see enough playing time to command streaming attention.

Powell closed Saturday's 138-135 loss to the Pistons with 28 points (9-16 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 7-8 FT), two rebounds, three assists and one steal over 33 minutes.
Powell was carrying a probable tag before this game due to a groin issue, but he was able to handle his regular workload with no limitations and posted another impressive performance. The veteran swingman was limited to 11 points in the win over the Bucks on Nov. 26, but he's hovered around the 20-point mark regularly. This was his 12th game with at least 20 points in 16 appearances this season.

Rotowire
Powell (groin) is probable for Wednesday's game against the Bucks, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
This is great news for Miami, as the Heat previously didn't put a timetable on his return.

Heat's Norman Powell: No known timetable
Rotowire
Powell (groin) is currently without a timetable, Zachary Weinberger of Clutch Points reported Monday.
Powell received an MRI after Sunday's game, which revealed a groin strain. He was held out of Monday's contest against the Mavericks, but there hasn't been much clarity on how severe the issue is. For now, fantasy managers can operate under the assumption that Powell is doubtful for Wednesday's game against the Bucks.
