"Powell, 32, is averaging 24.0 points, 7.3 rebounds, 3.0 assists and two steals in three games. He's shooting 47.7 percent from the floor, 50.0 percent from 3-point range and 91.3 percent from the free-throw line. He has been one of their most effective offensive players very early on the season. Powell's an exceptional shotmaker, a good slasher and a strong connective playmaker."
"He's also held his own defensively, which is a big reason why they've looked jelled on both ends in his minutes. Ironically enough, his return will be against his old team, who traded him to the Heat in March in a three-team trade. The Clippers acquired John Collins and, eventually, Bradley Beal as part of a separate transaction to help replace Powell."
Norman Powell will return to the Miami Heat lineup Monday night against the Los Angeles Clippers after missing three games with a groin strain. The game is the second night of a back-to-back. Powell, 32, is averaging 24.0 points, 7.3 rebounds, 3.0 assists and two steals in three games while shooting 47.7 percent from the floor, 50.0 percent from three and 91.3 percent from the free-throw line. Powell offers shotmaking, slashing and connective playmaking and has been solid defensively, helping the Heat look jelled on both ends. He was traded to Miami in March in a three-team deal, and the Clippers later acquired John Collins and Bradley Beal in moves intended to replace him.
