AutoDraft Pro AI

All-Star guard Norman Powell has been diagnosed with a Grade 1 right groin strain and will miss at least a week, with his status now listed as week-to-week. Powell, the Miami Heat's leading scorer averaging 22.5 points per game, sustained the injury in Thursday's loss to the 76ers. He is expected to miss at least the next four contests. Tyler Herro may return to the starting lineup, and Pelle Larsson could see increased minutes. Powell, in his first All-Star season, leads the Heat in total field goals, 3-point field goals, and free throws.
