Kyle Lowry ruled out for Game 5 vs. Hawks. – 3:54 PM Barry Jackson @flasportsbuzz
Lowry ruled out tomorrow. This is type of injury that would sideline him at least a week in regular season. No need for Lowry to try to seek Heat permission to play through it with Heat up 3-1. – 3:54 PM Kevin Chouinard @KLChouinard
Heat say Kyle Lowry (hamstring) is out for tomorrow’s Game 5.
P.J. Tucker (calf) and Caleb Martin (ankle) are questionable.
Gabe Vincent (toe) is probable. – 3:53 PM Ira Winderman @IraHeatBeat

Kyle Lowry OUT for Game 5. – 3:50 PM Ira Winderman @IraHeatBeat
Winderman’s view: Practicing prudence with Lowry, plus other thoughts on Heat-Hawks. sun-sentinel.com/sports/miami-h… – 8:48 AM Brady Hawk @BradyHawk305
Total points this series:
Jimmy Butler: 122
Bam/Herro/Lowry combined: 115 – 8:10 AM Ira Winderman @IraHeatBeat
Winderman’s view: Practicing prudence with Lowry, plus other Heat-Hawks thoughts. sun-sentinel.com/sports/miami-h… – 9:43 PM Law Murray @LawMurrayTheNU
Suns, Bucks, Heat all lost games when Devin Booker, Khris Middleton, and Kyle Lowry, respectively, were injured.
All three teams responded with wins in the next game. – 9:42 PM Dave McMenamin @mcten
The Heat go up 3-1 on the Hawks with a dominant 110-86 win in Sunday’s Game 4. Miami shot just 43% as a team, but held Atlanta to 40% and had just six turnovers to the Hawks’ 15. Jimmy Butler 36p on 12-of-21 shooting 10r 4a 4s; Gabe Vincent 11p 4a starting in place of Kyle Lowry – 9:40 PM Law Murray @LawMurrayTheNU
Victor Oladipo allowed Heat to eliminate the Tyler Herro-Duncan Robinson tandem minutes
Took a Kyle Lowry injury and a rough Robinson second quarter stint to get there, but Spo got there – 9:22 PM Anthony Chiang @Anthony_Chiang
End of third quarter: Heat 80, Hawks 61. Masterful defensive performance from the Heat with Kyle Lowry out. Hawks shooting just 35.7 percent from the field. – 9:07 PM Ira Winderman @IraHeatBeat
Offense remains work for the Heat. You can see the lack of fluidity without Lowry. – 8:46 PM Anthony Chiang @Anthony_Chiang
Despite missing Kyle Lowry, the Heat finished the first half with zero turnovers. – 8:24 PM Dave McMenamin @mcten
The Heat are up 55-41 at the half, with a chance to go up 3-1 on the Hawks if this holds. They outscored Atlanta 30-15 in the 2nd Q, sparked by Jimmy Butler scoring 13 of his 19 and adding two steals. Miami has yet to turn the ball over — impressive considering Kyle Lowry is out – 8:23 PM Brady Hawk @BradyHawk305
Said this on the pregame show, but no Lowry felt like it was trending to staggering Butler and Bam
Seeing now – 8:14 PM Nate Duncan @NateDuncanNBA
At least early, it appears the loss of Lowry has led the Heat to abandon their switching defense. – 7:32 PM Brady Hawk @BradyHawk305
As I said before the game, Miami would flow into more post splits without Lowry
And the first possession… – 7:19 PM Wes Goldberg @wcgoldberg
If Jimmy Butler takes on more a playmaking role with Lowry out, this would be a good time for Aggressive Bam to show up. – 6:41 PM Wes Goldberg @wcgoldberg
So Lowry out for the Heat. Capela back for the Hawks. Atlanta, coming off a win and at home, is in the best pregame position of the series. – 6:37 PM Anthony Chiang @Anthony_Chiang
As expected, Gabe Vincent starting in place of the injured Kyle Lowry. – 6:31 PM Ira Winderman @IraHeatBeat
Gabe Vincent starts in place of sidelined Kyle Lowry, opening alongside Bam Adebayo, P.J. Tucker, Jimmy Butler and Max Strus. – 6:30 PM Ira Winderman @IraHeatBeat

Erik Spoelstra would not say if Gabe Vincent will start in place of Lowry, “We’ll find out, but he’s going to play a lot.” And, no, I did not ask about Oladipo (sorry, but you look Spoelstra directly into those eyes in a dark pregame interview room). – 5:36 PM Marc J. Spears @MarcJSpears

McMillan on Heat potentially playing without Lowry: “There are few ways they can go with him out of the lineup. … They’ve played without him before.” Said Butler, Herro and Vincent can handle point guard duties if Lowry can’t play. – 5:22 PM Ira Winderman @IraHeatBeat
This is an interesting time pregame. If Kyle Lowry were to try to test out his hamstring, this likely would be the beginning of that timeframe. pic.twitter.com/1tVILoiXKW – 4:56 PM
