Norman Powell Injury Update: Saturday 3/21/26 vs. Rockets

NBA News Injury Report

The Miami Heat are coming off a three-game losing streak and have dropped to eighth in the Eastern Conference ahead of Saturday’s game against the Houston Rockets. Now, they could be without a key scorer as Norman Powell has been added to the injury report.

Powell didn’t carry a designation this morning but has been downgraded to questionable for today’s game due to a calf issue.

Notably, Jaime Jaquez Jr. and Andrew Wiggins are also out for Miami today.

Powell has been a key member of this Heat team in his first season with the franchise. His 22.3 PPG mark is a team high, making him a valuable scorer as an integral piece next to Bam Adebayo and Tyler Herro. It’s also worth mentioning that the guard earned the first All-Star appearance of his 11-year career this season as well, but was recently moved to a bench role as a sparkplug scorer.
