Lowry (hamstring) will not play in Tuesday's Game 5 against the 76ers, Chris Haynes of Yahoo Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
As of Monday afternoon, it seemed as though Lowry was hoping to play through the hamstring injury that's plagued him since Round 1, but after tweaking it in Game 4 on Sunday he'll miss at least one contest. This is, of course, a major loss for a Heat team that's struggled mightily over the last two games since Joel Embiid returned to action for the Sixers. Gabe Vincent (knee) will likely get the start at point guard in Lowry's place.

Lowry reinjured his left hamstring during Sunday's Game 4 loss to the 76ers and is considered questionable to play in Tuesday's Game 5, Nick Freidell of ESPN reports. "We'll see," Lowry said when asked about his Game 5 status. "Tough timing for a hamstring. I've never had a soft tissue [injury]. This goal is to be out there. So if you're asking if I'm gonna try and play, yes, I'll be trying to play Game 5."
EDGE Analysis
It's unclear exactly when Lowry may have tweaked the hamstring, which kept him out of four games earlier in the playoffs, but he did return to the locker room during the second quarter. Lowry ultimately came back in and played much of the second half, but he was seated on the bench for the final nine minutes and 42 seconds of the game. The veteran finished with six points (3-10 FG, 0-6 3Pt), seven assists, three rebounds and two steals in 30 minutes of action. Speaking postgame, Lowry said that he does not anticipate undergoing another MRI, but he'll likely receive plenty of treatment over the next two days leading up to Tuesday night's tip. If Lowry is ultimately unable to play, Gabe Vincent would likely slide back into the lineup at point guard.

Lowry (hamstring) is available for Sunday's Game 4 against the 76ers, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
EDGE Analysis
Lowry was questionable once again prior to Sunday's matchup, but he'll play through his strained left hamstring for a second straight game. He played 25 minutes in his return to the court Friday, and he could see increased minutes Sunday.

Lowry (hamstring) is questionable for Sunday's Game 4 against the 76ers.
EDGE Analysis
Lowry played 25 minutes in his return from a four-game absence stemming from a strained left hamstring. He didn't make much of an impact, as he went scoreless with four rebounds, three assists and a steal as the Heat lost 99-79. If available Sunday, he could see his workload increased.

Lowry (hamstring) totaled zero points (0-4 FG, 0-2 3Pt), four rebounds, three assists and one steal over 25 minutes during Friday's 99-79 loss to the 76ers in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals series.
EDGE Analysis
Lowry returned to the starting lineup following a four-game absence due to a hamstring injury, but the veteran point guard looked hesitant offensively and turned in his third scoreless outing of the season. The return of Joel Embiid has shifted the momentum after it looked like the Heat would run away with the series, so Miami will need Lowry at his best if the team hopes to avoid returning home tied 2-2.

Lowry (hamstring) will play and start during Friday's Game 3 against the 76ers, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
EDGE Analysis
Lowry is back with the starters following a four-game absence. It's possible he doesn't see a full complement of minutes given the relatively long layoff and sensitive nature of hamstring injuries. During his three playoff appearances, he's averaged 8.3 points, 5.3 assists, 3.7 rebounds and 1.0 blocks in 29.7 minutes.

Lowry (hamstring) is expected to play during Friday's Game 3 against the 76ers, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports.
EDGE Analysis
Lowry will "warm up with the intention of playing," which is Heat-speak for "available." The veteran last played during Game 3 of the first-round series against the Hawks, so it wouldn't be surprising if he was on a minutes limit Friday. His return could also mean reduced workloads for Gabe Vincent, Victor Oladipo and Caleb Martin.

Lowry (hamstring) is questionable for Friday's Game 3 at Philadelphia.
EDGE Analysis
Lowry has missed the past four games with the left hamstring strain. He'll presumably test things out on gameday to determine if he can return. If the veteran is back for Game 3, he could be on a minutes limit, and it's possible he'd come off the bench.

Lowry (hamstring) will not play in Wednesday's Game 2 against the 76ers, Chris Haynes of Yahoo Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
Lowry missed the final two games of Miami's first-round series against Atlanta as well as Monday's Game 1 against Philly, so this will be his fourth consecutive absence as he continues to deal with a hamstring injury. The Heat appear to be handling the veteran's status on a game-to-game basis, so he should be considered questionable for Friday's Game 3 in Philadelphia. Expect Gabe Vincent to make another start in Lowry's place Wednesday.

Lowry (hamstring) has been ruled out for Monday's Game 1 against the 76ers, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
EDGE Analysis
Lowry suffered the hamstring injury during Game 3 against the Hawks and missed the final two games of the series, and he'll remain out for the opener versus the 76ers. Gabe Vincent and Victor Oladipo figure to continue seeing more playing time in his absence.
