Lowry (hamstring) is available for Sunday's Game 7 against the Celtics, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
EDGE Analysis
Lowry carried a questionable designation once again prior to Sunday's winner-take-all matchup, but he'll continue to play through his hamstring injury. Over his four appearances since returning to the court, the 36-year-old has averaged 8.0 points, 2.8 rebounds and 4.5 assists in 28.0 minutes per game.

Lowry (hamstring) is questionable for Sunday's Game 7 against the Celtics.
EDGE Analysis
Lowry probably isn't at much risk of missing the do-or-die game despite the questionable tag. He struggled through Games 3, 4 and 5 but exploded for 18 points, 10 assists, four rebounds, one steal and one block across 37 minutes in Game 6.

Lowry ended with 18 points (5-14 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds, 10 assists, one block and one steal across 37 minutes before fouling out of Friday's 111-103 win over the Celtics in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Finals.
EDGE Analysis
Lowry had been awful so far in the series, but he stepped up his game when Miami needed him the most. The veteran point guard posted his first double-double of the series, and while he's not expected to put up these numbers on a regular basis, any sort of improvement will be an upgrade considering he averaged 4.7 points, 2.7 assists per tilt, 21.7 percent shooting and 2.3 turnovers per game through the first three games of the series.

Lowry (hamstring) will play and start Friday's Game 6 against the Celtics, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
EDGE Analysis
Lowry has been awful in the past three games while playing through a hamstring injury. He's just 5-of-23 from the field for 14 points and eight assists, plus seven turnovers. Still, coach Erik Spoelstra may go down with the ship on this one. At the very least, Lowry will be getting his usual start. If he continues to struggle, Gabe Vincent and Caleb Martin could see heavier workloads in the second half.

Head coach Erik Spoelstra said Thursday that Lowry (hamstring) is expected to be available for Friday's Game 6 against Boston, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports.
EDGE Analysis
Lowry is still officially listed as questionable for Friday, but Spoelstra indicated that all of the Heat players that played in Game 5 would likely be available again for Game 6. Each player's status will be officially determined closer to game time, but at this point it appears that Lowry is on track to play.

Lowry (hamstring) is questionable for Friday's Game 6 at Boston.
EDGE Analysis
Lowry has played in each of the last three games after missing Games 1 and 2, but he's looked like a shell of himself, scoring just 14 total points on a combined 5-of-23 shooting. The veteran was especially bad in Wednesday's Game 5, finishing scoreless -- with some ugly-looking attempts -- in 25 minutes of action while also failing to record an assist or steal. Chances are, Lowry will continue to play through the strained hamstring, but if he struggles early on, it wouldn't be surprising if coach Erik Spoelstra is forced to go away from the 36-year-old.

Lowry closed with zero points (0-6 FG, 0-5 3Pt) and one rebound over 25 minutes during Wednesday's 93-80 loss to the Celtics in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Finals.
EDGE Analysis
Lowry is trying to battle through a hamstring injury that is clearly affecting his play, so it's commendable that he was able to log 25 minutes Wednesday. Nonetheless, the veteran point guard did almost nothing positive during his time on the court, going 0-for-6 from the field and failing to log an assist while turning the ball over three times and committing five fouls. Backup point guard Gabe Vincent scored 15 points in 23 minutes, and the Heat may need to turn to him for more court time in Game 6 if they are to avoid elimination.

Lowry (hamstring) is available for Wednesday's Game 5 against the Celtics.
EDGE Analysis
Lowry is dealing with a persistent hamstring issue but will play for the third game in a row after missing four straight. In his past four playoff appearances, he's averaged just 5.0 points, 4.5 assists, 3.3 rebounds and 1.8 steals in 26.3 minutes.

Lowry (hamstring) is questionable for Wednesday's Game 5 against the Celtics, Marc J. Spears of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Lowry has played in the past two games but has struggled offensively, totaling 14 points, eight assists, six rebounds, four steals and two blocks in 50 minutes while shooting 5-for-17 from the field. It's unlikely he's fully healthy, but he could certainly continue playing through the issue.

Lowry (hamstring) will be available for Monday's Game 4 against Boston.
EDGE Analysis
As expected, Lowry will be available for the second straight game, even as he continues to be nagged by a hamstring issue. The veteran, who had 11 points and six assists in Game 3, will likely be tasked with carrying more of the offensive burden in the absence of Tyler Herro (groin).
