Kyle Lowry injured his hamstring during the middle of Heat’s first-round series with the Hawks. He missed the final two contests in that series and was on the sidelines for Game 1 vs. the Sixers on Monday night.
Lowry returning to the Heat lineup for Game 2 is a strong possibility, according to Chris Haynes (TNT broadcast).
