Lowry was sent to health and safety protocols Saturday, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Lowry has been playing well for the shorthanded Heat. Over the past 11 games, he's averaged 16.9 points, 9.5 assists and 4.4 rebounds in 36.0 minutes. However, he's now landed in protocols so someone will have to absorb his usage. On a positive note, Jimmy Butler (tailbone) may make his return Sunday.
