Tyler Herro, Norman Powell’s injury status vs. Hawks

Given that Tyler Herro is probable on the injury report, the expectation is that he’ll be fit for at least limited minutes against the Hawks. Herro has missed significant time this season after fracturing three ribs in a loss to Indiana in January, forcing him to sit out 15 consecutive games entering the All-Star break.

The timing of his return is important for a Miami team that is 29-27 and sitting in eighth place in the Eastern Conference, just two games behind the sixth seed in a tight playoff race.

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 in limited appearances. During his absence the Heat’s offense has dropped from 13th (115.7) in offensive rating at the start of the season to 22nd (112.6).

Norman Powell’s position is less certain. The veteran wing is listed as questionable due to 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 three-pointers per game.
