MIAMI – With the Miami Heat taking on the Atlanta Hawks on Friday night, the team is looking to get back on track after dropping eight of its last nine games. After the Heat's blowout loss to the Toronto Raptors on Tuesday, one aspect of the team that should see a slight change is the offense.

Norman Powell reacts as online chatter flips quickly on Miami’s backcourt pairing, calling out how fast narratives change.

However, they’ve recently gone through a five-game skid, losing to teams like the Orlando Magic, the Toronto Raptors, and the Sacramento Kings. Despite it all, the team has one player who’s been consistent almost every game he’s played through the wins and losses. That man is none other than Norman Powell.

The Miami Heat's injury issues have derailed the team and could force the Heat to make a trade for an available superstar.

Norman Powell admits he was shocked after Clippers suddenly traded him, especially with extension talks already underway behind the scenes.

Powell will be otherwise occupied as the Heat will play the Nets in Brooklyn that day. But his foundation is left in the hands of his mother, Sharon Powell, sisters Margaret Powell-Smart and Joniece Benjamin, and a handful of lifelong friends from his hometown.
