Kyle Lowry Out for Heat vs. Thunder Because of Left Knee Injury

Miami Heat point guard Kyle Lowry will miss Tuesday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder with left knee discomfort, per Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald.

Lowry's health was a major storyline for the Heat throughout the playoffs last season when he suffered a hamstring injury during the first-round series against the Atlanta Hawks and missed Games 4 and 5.

The 36-year-old also missed the first two contests of the second-round series against the Philadelphia 76ers and looked anything but 100 percent healthy in Games 3 and 4. He scored a combined six points while shooting 3-of-14 from the field and 0-of-8 from three-point range in those contests and was then ruled out for Game 5.
