Norman Powell earned his first All-Star selection during his debut season with the Miami Heat. Still, injuries limited him significantly after the All-Star break, as noted by Anthony Chiang of The Miami Herald.
He logged just 19 minutes in Tuesday’s play-in loss to Charlotte as he worked his way back.
Earlier in the season, Powell had been vocal about wanting to remain with the Heat long-term, though his tone was more cautious when addressing his future following the game.
“They have to make decisions and things based on the team and where they want to be and what they want to do next year,” Powell said of the Heat.
“Hopefully I’m a part of the plan. And if I am, great. Like I said, I like my time here. So we’ll just see where they’re at, where my agent is at, and what’s going on in free agency.”
Powell has played 11 seasons for 4 teams, including the Raptors and Clippers. He has averaged 14.0 points and 2.7 rebounds in 675 regular-season games.
He has won 1 NBA championship.
