Miami Heat guard Kyle Lowry will miss the opening game of the team's second-round matchup against the Philadelphia 76ers, the club announced Sunday.
Lowry has been out since he left Game 3 versus the Atlanta Hawks with a hamstring injury. Victor Oladipo stepped up in his absence during that first-round series, contributing a team-high 23 points in the closeout Game 5.
Lowry averaged 8.3 points, 5.3 assists, 3.7 rebounds, and a block per game against Atlanta.
Game 1 tips off Monday in Miami at 7:30 p.m. ET.
