Heat poing guard Kyle Lowry was ruled out of Tuesday’s decisive Game 5 against the Philadelphia 76ers after re-injuring his left hamstring. But Lowry, who combined to average six points on 14 shots over his first two games back from injury, could miss the rest of the series, per Miami Herald’s Anthony Chiang.
Here is what Chiang wrote Tuesday following the ruling of Lowry’s injury status for Game 5:
“Lowry said the following Game 4 that, ‘the goal is to be out there for Game 5.’ But the belief is he may now be forced to miss the second-round rest of the seies as the Heat take a cautious approach with the injury, according to a league source.
