Miami Heat Injury Report: Major Updates on Tyler Herro, Norman Powell as 10 Players Listed vs Pistons (Nov. 29)

The Miami Heat face the Detroit Pistons in a blockbuster Eastern Conference showdown on Saturday with a lengthy injury report. The Heat have listed 10 players, notably Tyler Herro, Norman Powell, Andrew Wiggins and Jaime Jaquez Jr.

Herro made his season debut Monday after an ankle surgery kept him out for the first 17 games. He's on the injury report against Detroit, but is available. Herro will play his third straight game. The star guard hasn't looked out of sorts in his first minutes, scoring 24 against Dallas on Monday, followed by a 29-point, seven-assist, five-rebound game against Milwaukee on Wednesday.

Meanwhile, Powell, who has missed four games due to a groin issue, remains on the injury report. However, he will likely play. Powell has a probable status for Saturday's contest. He's played 12 of the team's last 13 games, including Wednesday's NBA Cup contest against the Bucks.

Andrew Wiggins is also probable, citing a hip flexor strain. The former No.1 pick has missed three games over the last two weeks. However, Wiggins returned against Milwaukee and is likely to play his second straight game.

Meanwhile, Jaime Jaquez Jr. has a concerning update, as the third-year forward is questionable with a groin strain. He was limited to 17 minutes in Wednesday's game against Milwaukee. Jaquez is 50-50 to miss his first outing on Saturday. He will be a game-time decision.

On the other hand, Nikola Jokic will return from a five-game absence. The Serbian forward missed time due to a right hip impingement, but he is cleared to return with the Heat officially listing him as available.

The Miami Heat will send four of their players on G League assignment, including Myron Gardner, Vladislav Goldin, Kasparas Jakucionis and Jahmir Young. Terry Rozier will be the other absentee as he's not with the team amid an ongoing federal gambling investigation.
