After joining the Heat, the former Clippers powerful scorer participated in the training camp of the Jamaica national team again?

According to Miami Herald reporter Anthony Chiang, backcourt star Norman Powell, who was just sent to the Miami Heat in a tripartite deal last month by the Los Angeles Clippers in a three-party deal, is currently training in South Florida. Interestingly, Powell did not train with the Heat, but was training with the Jamaica national team. The Jamaica national team is currently hosting a training camp at Florida Atlantic University in Boca Raton to prepare for the next 2027 FIBA World Cup Americas qualifying match.

In an interview with Chiang, Powell said: I originally thought that this training camp should be in Jamaica, but I realized that the training camp was in Florida, just in Boca. Then I was sent to the Heat by the Clippers, but I didn't expect that the training camp position was so close to the team I was in. So I came here, came to this training hall, and I also found a place to settle for myself, which was so cool. Note: The distance between Boca Raton and Miami is about 72km, and it only takes about 45 minutes to drive.

In the NBA regular season last season, Powell was affected by injuries in 82 games, playing 60 games for his old club, the Clippers, with averaging 32.6 minutes per game, with averaging 21.8 points, 3.2 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 1.2 steals and 0.2 blocks, and 1.8 turnovers and 1.9 fouls, with a shooting percentage of 48.4%, a three-point shooting percentage of 41.8%, and a free throw shooting percentage of 80.4%. In the playoffs, Powell played 7 games in total, with averaging 34 minutes per game, with averaging 16 points, 2.4 rebounds, 2.4 assists, 1.1 steals and 0.2 blocks, and 1.7 turnovers and 2.1 fouls. His shooting percentage was 47.2%, his three-point shooting percentage was 35%, and his free throw shooting percentage was 77.8%.

In a previous tripartite transaction, the Heat sent Kevin Love and Kyle Anderson to the Utah Jazz and got Powell from the Clippers. From a characteristic point of view, Powell is a player with outstanding scoring ability, but he is also a player with strong offense and weak defense. Besides scoring, he cannot bear more burdens on the offensive end. Tyler Herro already has Tyler Herro in the Heat lineup, so it is also a question mark on how well Powell fits with the team. On the other hand, we can also see that Jamaica will face challenges from Mexico, Barbados and Costa Rica in the World Cup qualifiers this month. Will Powell appear in Jamaica's lineup for the first time? How will he perform in his debut in the international arena?
