Tyler Herro, Norman Powell injury status vs. Hawks
Given Tyler Herro is probable on the injury report, the expectation is that he will suit up at least for limited minutes against the Hawks. Herro has missed significant time this season after suffering three fractured ribs during a January loss to Indiana, forcing him to sit out 15 consecutive games entering the All-Star break.
The timing of his return is crucial for a Miami team sitting 29–27 and eighth in the Eastern Conference, just two games behind the sixth seed as the playoff race tightens.
Herro has been productive when available, averaging 21.9 points, 4.7 rebounds and 2.7 assists while shooting 49.7% from the field and 35.8% from three across limited appearances. The Heat’s offense has slipped from 13th in offensive rating (115.7) early in the season to 22nd (112.6) during his absence.
Norman Powell’s status is less certain. The veteran wing is listed as questionable with lower-back tightness after missing the Heat’s final two games before the break.
Powell has been one of Miami’s most consistent scorers, averaging 23 points per game while ranking among the league’s better perimeter threats with 2.9 made three-pointers per game.
