Ira Winderman: Heat say Norman Powell (personal) is out for tonight's game vs. visiting Hawks. Tyler Herro (ribs) and Andrew Wiggins (hamstring) previously had been ruled out.
Yossi Gozlan: The Boston Celtics will also create a massive $27.7 million trade exception. They accomplish this by taking Nikola Vucevic into the Kristaps Porzingis trade exception.
Sources say Cleveland, meanwhile, passed on taking back Monk's contract in the Hunter deal rather than Schröder … although it certainly didn't hurt that Schröder has experienced no shortage of national team success with Germany. That is said to have appealed to Cavaliers coach Kenny Atkinson, who on top of his own FIBA experiences knows Schröder from their time together in Atlanta.

Sean Highkin: Tiago Splitter on Vit Krejci: “We’re ‘thirsty’ for a shooter like that.”
Trading two second-round picks for Vit Krejci makes sense for Portland because he fills a glaring need and has a great contract. He’s signed for the minimum for two seasons after this one, with 2026-27 non-guaranteed and 2027-28 a team option. The Blazers desperately need both rotation-ish caliber wings and shooting, and Krejčí can provide both. A 40.5-percent career 3-point shooter with deep range, Krejčí mostly subsists on catch-and-shoots. But he has a good handle for his size at 6-foot-8 that can gives him some utility as a second-side operator.
