ORLANDO, Fla. -- Miami Heat guard Kyle Lowry did something during the start of Saturday night's 126-114 overtime loss to the Orlando Magic that he hadn't done in over 10 years: He sat on the bench.
Lowry, who hadn't played since Feb. 2 because of left knee soreness, entered Saturday's game with 6:21 left in the first quarter, replacing Heat star Jimmy Butler. When he did, it snapped a 677-game streak of starting, according to ESPN Stats & Information research.
The last time Lowry came off the bench was as a member of the Toronto Raptors on Jan.
