Age isn’t an athlete’s best friend, and this rings doubly true in a game as intense and demanding as basketball. However, even with a championship-winning season under his belt, LA Clippers shooting guard Norman Powell has managed somehow to outdo himself at the ripe age of 31. Perhaps, the fact he is playing on an LA team wearing the number 24, like his idol, is pushing him to greater heights.

Aside from being the Clippers’ lead scoring option this season, Powell wears many other hats. He dropped a single after partnering up with the website host GoDaddy. Yes, you read that right, Norman has a single out called “No Problem.” Despite undertaking several endeavors off the court, fans have often been curious about the star’s personal life. So let us delve into some details.

Is Norman Powell dating? What’s the relationship status of the Clippers star?

Even though Norman Powell has been part of the NBA circuit for about a decade now, there are hardly any details revolving around his personal life. He hardly shares anything about his life on social media. Well, aside from an occasional picture with his niece or when he is feeling his outfit. So, rather disappointingly, as it stands, there are no reports of him dating anyone. Although his dating life remains shrouded in secrecy, there are some details regarding his family.

Powell’s college profile lists him as having two elder sisters, Joniece who is 15 years older than him, and Margaret, who is 3 years older. Per The Athletic, Margaret is a teacher at Francis Parker Prep School in San Diego and runs a dance studio. Joniece holds 3 Master’s degrees to her name while also being a proud owner of a jewelry business. If you’re looking for more details, though, you might be out of luck.

The fact that this aspect of Powell’s life remains a mystery goes to show how dedicated the Clippers’ shooting guard is to his craft. His motto, “Understand the grind” is something Powell has always taken to heart. He once revealed in an interview with Forbes, “It’s what I stand by. It’s the message that no matter what you’re faced with on the journey to achieve your career, you have to understand what it takes to be successful, whatever avenue that is.” Gives you chills, doesn’t it?

It is not hard to see how a lifelong Kobe Bryant fan would understand and embrace the grind. He even shared how Kobe once pulled him aside to give him some personalized advice, explaining how he urged Powell to nurture the “killer” within him on the court. The late Lakers legend’s words stuck with Powell as you’d be hard-pressed to find someone who embodies their motto better.

Which year was Norman Powell drafted? From initial tough times to NBA glory with the Raptors

Being the Clippers’ lead scorer in 2025, living up to his idol’s example, and the proud owner of an NBA ring. Norman Powell has certainly come a long way throughout his NBA career. However, it was not always like this, especially in his first years in the league. Powell was a second-round pick for the Milwaukee Bucks in the 2015 NBA Draft, and the 46th pick overall.

He was soon traded to the Toronto Raptors and was nearly offloaded to an overseas team. But Powell wound up refusing this move, opting to earn his respect by roughing it out in the G League. And by embracing the hard work and grind, he managed to become an important role player in the 2018/19 Toronto squad that became champions of the NBA.

Norman reflected on his decision to stay and fight for his place on the Raptors’ squad in an interview. “At the end of the day, I had to sit back and realize what it takes to get there. I knew I had to work my way up and fit into a specific role to get on the floor. I was all about winning. I’m still about winning,” said Powell.

This mindset shows exactly why he managed to become such a reliable presence in the locker room of that Kawhi Leonard-led squad. Seemingly an intensely private person, details about the LA Clippers’ shooting guard’s life are quite scarce. But you see, that just shows how much Normal Powell prefers to do his talking on the court!
