Lowry (hand, illness) is doubtful for Wednesday's game against the Thunder.
EDGE Analysis
Lowry left Monday's win over Houston early due to a hand injury but was absent from Tuesday's practice due to an illness. It's worth noting that Miami's injury report has Lowry listed with just a hand injury, but the extent of both issues remains unclear. Caleb Martin (ankle, illness) is also doubtful, while Jimmy Butler (toe) has already been ruled out, so Tyler Herro, Jaime Jaquez and Nikola Jovic should all see increased roles again.

Lowry (hand) was not at practice Tuesday due to an illness, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
EDGE Analysis
Because Lowry was absent Tuesday, there's no additional update on his left hand sprain at the moment. That injury forced him to leave Monday's game against the Rockets after just 16 minutes. Miami will release its injury report Tuesday evening, at which point there will be more clarity on his status for Wednesday's game against the Thunder.

Lowry suffered a left hand sprain during Monday's game against the Rockets, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
EDGE Analysis
Lowry played 16 minutes Monday before leaving for the locker room, although the Heat never released an official update. He returned to the bench a few minutes later, but he never took the floor again. He finished the night with six points (2-3 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds, one assist and two blocks. With Jimmy Butler (foot) still sidelined, the Heat could be in rough shape if Lowry misses time. If that does happen, Miami will need guys like Tyler Herro and Josh Richardson to increase their time on the ball.

Lowry (illness) has been cleared for Monday's game against the Rockets, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
EDGE Analysis
Lowry has averaged 7.0 points, 3.7 assists, 2.0 rebounds, 0.8 steals and 0.3 blocks across 24.3 minutes in his last six games. Despite his illness, he'll retain his role as the team's starting point guard during Monday's matchup with Houston.

Lowry is probable for Monday's game against the Rockets due to an illness.
EDGE Analysis
Lowry is a late addition to the injury report, but he's still trending toward suiting up Monday. Over his last three games, the veteran point guard has averaged 8.0 points, 4.3 assists, 2.3 rebounds and 1.3 steals in 24.3 minutes.

Lowry (head) will play Monday night against the Clippers.
EDGE Analysis
Lowry was held out of his team's last two contests while recovering from a head injury, but he'll presumably slot back in as the Heat's starting point guard Monday. R.J. Hampton should move back to a bench role with Lowry cleared to return.

Lowry (head) is questionable for Monday's game against the Clippers.
EDGE Analysis
Lowry has missed the past two games for Miami and remains day-to-day. It's worth noting that he cleared all his concussion tests, and the Heat are calling his injury a contusion. If Lowry is unable to play, the Heat will likely let Tyler Herro run the bulk of their offense with R.J. Hampton playing just eight minutes in a start against the Jazz on Saturday.

Lowry (head) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against Utah, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
EDGE Analysis
Lowry will miss his second straight contest as a result of a head injury, though Tim Reynolds of Associated Press notes that the point guard has passed all concussion tests. Tyler Herro should make another start at point guard in Lowry's absence.

Lowry (soreness) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Jazz.
EDGE Analysis
Lowry was unable to play Thursday against the Warriors, although it's possible the Heat were being extra cautious. Miami will benefit if Lowry is able to give it a go, as the team could be shorthanded again. Jimmy Butler (calf), Jaime Jaquez (illness) and Josh Richardson (back) are also questionable for Miami. If Lowry is unable to play, Jamal Cain could get another extended look after his strong performance Thursday. R.J. Hampton is also a candidate to see more run if Lowry sits.

Lowry (soreness) won't play in Thursday's game versus the Warriors, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
EDGE Analysis
Lowry has been downgraded from questionable to out Thursday due to general soreness. With Jimmy Butler (calf) still out, Tyler Herro figures to take over the majority of the playmaking duties against Golden State. Lowry's next chance to suit up is Saturday's matchup with the Jazz.
