Norman Powell Injury: Iffy for Saturday

Published on January 23, 2026

Powell (back) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Jazz.

Powell is still dealing with lower-back tightness, though he was cleared to play in Thursday's loss to Portland, during which he posted 18 points, one assist, one steal and one block in 28 minutes. If the veteran swingman isn't able to suit up Saturday, Jaime Jaquez, Dru Smith and Kasparas Jakucionis would be candidates for increased minutes.
