It appears that veteran Kyle Lowry's time with the Miami Heat is coming to a close.

Lowry is struggling to perform this season, which is leading to a plethora of trade rumors. The 37-year-old guard recently unfollowed a multitude of players on the Heat's roster on Instagram. The list includes Jaime Jaquez Jr., Duncan Robinson, Haywood Highsmith, Nikola Jovic, and Orlando Robinson.

It is unknown why he unfollowed his teammates, but many assume his departure is near because of it. The Feb. 8 trade deadline is growing closer, with names such as Atlanta Hawks' Dejounte Murray, Charlotte Hornets' Terry Rozier, and Toronto Raptors' Bruce Brown as potential acquisitions for Miami.

He is averaging 8.2 points and four assists on 42.6 percent shooting and 38.5 percent from three-point range. Lowry's lack of success means the Heat must package him with forward Caleb Martin and draft capital to acquire a star.

His frustrations with the organization likely began after coach Erik Spoelstra decided to bring him off the bench against the Atlanta Hawks. After the loss, Lowry accepted the decision but was hoping it was a one-time thing.

"[Coach Spoelstra] wanted to look at something different," Lowry said. "He wanted to have me come off the bench. Hopefully, it was only a one-game thing for me and I get back in the starting lineup."

However, Lowry once again came off the bench in Sunday's game against the Magic.
