Caleb Martin (ankle), P.J. Tucker (calf), Max Strus (hamstring) and Tyler Herro (ankle) are all listed as questionable for Thursday’s game. 

Lowry has been nursing a strained left hamstring, dating back to the Heat’s first-round series against the Hawks. After missing four games, he returned to action in Games 3 and 4 against the Sixers but appeared to be laboring in both contests.

In his last two appearances, Lowry has played in 55 minutes and scored just six points while shooting 3-of-14 from the floor and 0-of-8 from beyond the arc. He has also dished out 10 assists and grabbed seven rebounds.

Miami didn’t suffer from Lowry’s absence in Game 5 on Tuesday night. The Heat routed the Sixers at home in a 120–85 victory to gain a 3–2 advantage in the series.

Now without its floor general, Miami will try to close out Philadelphia on the road. Game 6 is scheduled for 7:00 p.m. ET on Thursday.
