Lowry had also missed Game 1 against Philadelphia and this will be his fourth straight game out. The point guard suffered the injury in Game 3 of the first-round series against the Atlanta Hawks.

With Lowry remaining out, the plan for Miami is to keep giving more minutes to Victor Oladipo and to use Gabe Vincent as a starter.

On the other hand, the Philadelphia 76ers are still without their star Joel Embiid, who's dealing with an orbital fracture.

The Miami Heat won Game 1 of the semifinal series against Philadelphia 106-92.
