Miami Heat point guard Kyle Lowry has been ruled out for Tuesday night's Game 5 against the Philadelphia 76ers because of a hamstring injury.
Lowry suffered a left hamstring strain in Game 3 of the Heat's first-round playoff series against the Atlanta Hawks on April 22. He missed the remainder of that matchup plus the first two games of Miami's second-round postseason series versus the Philadelphia 76ers.
After sitting four games, Lowry returned on May 6 for Game 3 against the 76ers and played 25 minutes. He has struggled shooting the ball since returning to the court, going 3-of-14 from the floor (0-of-8 from three-point range) in two games.
