Overview
- Tyler Herro made his season debut after September ankle surgery, scoring 24 points on 12-of-18 shooting with seven rebounds and hitting the go-ahead floater with 42.1 seconds left in a 106-102 win over the Mavericks.
- The Heat said Norman Powell’s MRI confirmed a mild left-groin strain and he is day-to-day after missing the Dallas game.
- Coach Erik Spoelstra said there was no setback for Powell, offered no return timeline, and described the level of concern as “not super high.”
- Miami extended its season-best winning streak to five while also missing Andrew Wiggins (strained left hip flexor) and Nikola Jovic (right hip impingement).
- Kel’el Ware contributed 20 points and 18 rebounds, Bam Adebayo added 17 points with late free throws, and the Heat leaned on depth to cover absences.
