Kyle Lowry Ruled out for 76ers vs. Heat Game 5 with Hamstring Injury

The Miami Heat will be without Kyle Lowry for Tuesday night's game against the Philadelphia 76ers.

He missed the rest of the first-round playoff series against Atlanta and the first two games of the second-round series against the Philadelphia.

In Game 3 against the 76ers, he played 25 minutes after sitting for four games. He has struggled shooting the ball since returning to the court, going 3-of-14 from the floor in two games.

Philadelphia evened the series by winning each of the past two games, after Miami took a 2-0 lead.

A 16-year NBA veteran and six-time All-Star who won the NBA championship with the Toronto Raptors, is Kyle Lowry. He signed a three-year, $90 million contract with Miami after leaving Toronto.

The Heat earned a 53-29 record and the No. 1 spot in the Eastern Conference with the help of the 36-year-old.

The two have started with each other. The three-year NBA veteran averaged 8.7 points and 3.1 assists in 23.4 minutes. He played in over sixty games.

Victor should get more playing time. He only played in eight regular-season games this year after having surgery to repair his right quadriceps.

The two-time All-Star has looked like his old self at times since his return, notably dropping 23 points to help Miami close out the Hawks in its five-game first-round series win.

The Heat have a deep roster and can weather the storm, but Miami is a better team with him on the floor and could use him back as soon as possible.
