Heat All-Star Norman Powell Says He Wants To Re-Sign as He Leads Miami in Scoring

The 32-year-old first-time selection is averaging about 23 points per game heading into All-Star Weekend in Los Angeles.

Overview

  • Powell said he wants to remain with the Heat and hopes to reach an extension, with quotes reported by the Miami Herald and aggregated by multiple outlets.
  • He is in the final season of a five-year, $90 million deal, is extension-eligible, and reports say he could sign for up to roughly four years and $128.5 million.
  • Powell is Miami’s leading scorer at 23.0 points per game on 47.4% shooting and 39.6% from three, helping steady a 29–27 team that has dealt with injuries.
  • He earned his first All-Star nod at age 32 and was reassigned to Team World after Giannis Antetokounmpo’s injury altered the event’s rosters.
  • He will compete in the 3-Point Contest for a second straight year, returning to Los Angeles after a first-round exit last year when Tyler Herro won the event.
