BOSTON -- Miami Heat guard Kyle Lowry will warm up "with the intention to play" in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference finals against the Boston Celtics on Saturday night, according to Heat coach Erik Spoelstra.

Meanwhile, Celtics center Robert Williams III will miss tonight's game as he continues to deal with a left knee issue, the team announced.

Celtics head coach Ime Udoka said Saturday that Williams has some soreness and swelling in his knee.

Lowry has not played since reinjuring his left hamstring in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference semifinals series against the Philadelphia 76ers.
