The Miami Heat (12-6) will continue their home skid on Wednesday in a game against the Milwaukee Bucks (8-10).
Miami will be going for its sixth win in a row despite facing a large list of injuries to begin the season. Fortunately, franchise star Tyler Herro was able to make his debut on Monday after missing the first 17 games of the regular season while recovering from surgery to address posterior impingement syndrome in his left ankle.
As one player returns, another one goes down. The Heat's leading scorer this season, Norman Powell, missed Monday's contest while dealing with a groin strain. Originally, he was given no timetable to return. However, a new injury designation was released for the 32-year-old.

Heat list Norman Powell as probable for Wednesday vs. Bucks
NBA insider Tim Reynolds reported on Wednesday that Norman Powell is probable for the Miami Heat's game against the Milwaukee Bucks on Wednesday.
Powell underwent further testing after Miami's 127-117 win over the Philadelphia 76ers on Nov. 23 that revealed a strain to his left groin. Early reports said that he had no timetable to return, but it appears that the injury will most likely result in him missing only one game.
In his first 14 games as a member of the Miami Heat, Powell has led the team in scoring with 25.4 points per game while adding 3.9 rebounds, 2.4 assists, 1.3 steals, and shooting 50.0 percent from the field.
If he's good to go for the contest, it will be the first time that Tyler Herro, Bam Adebayo, and Powell will all be able to play in the same game this season.
