Heat's Gabe Vincent (ankle) out of Game 5; Kyle Lowry starts

BOSTON -- Miami Heat guard Gabe Vincent missed Game 5 of the Eastern Conference finals against the Boston Celtics on Thursday night because of a sprained left ankle.

Kyle Lowry started in Vincent's place and had five points, two rebounds and one assist in the Heat's 110-97 loss. Miami has a 3-2 series lead.

"It's really unfortunate," Vincent said after Thursday's shootaround. "I'm a competitor. I love to compete with my guys, it's definitely the highest stakes, so I'll be here supporting them, watching them do their thing tonight.
