On May 10, Beijing time, the NBA Heat officially announced the team's injury list, and as many as 7 people were included in the game. Among them, the veteran Lowry's injury is heart-wrenching, because he once again suffered a hamstring strain. Considering the particularity of this position, Lori may be difficult to play in G5 Tenno Mountain, and even if he fights, it should be difficult to achieve the best state.
Lowry suffered a hamstring strain in the first round against the Hawks and missed four games. In Game 3 against Philadelphia, Lowry made a comeback. However, in the past two games, Lowry has scored 0 and 6 points respectively, and the form is obviously worse. And in the game, it was obvious that Lowry's thigh hamstring position was not very sharp, and he did not dare to break through.
In game 4, Lowry left the court again in the second quarter for treatment, and Lowry did not appear in the last 9 minutes of the fourth quarter. After the game, Lowry himself confirmed that the hamstring was injured again. Although Lowry also said that he would try to pursue the next game, teammates Adebayo and Butler have already implicitly said in the interview that if Lowry is absent, they will carry the burden.
Lowry signed a three-year, $85 million contract with the Heat last summer and is making $27 million this season. As a 36-year-old veteran, it's a big contract. The Heat originally wanted to use Lowry's championship experience to help the team strive for better results. But by the crucial playoffs, Lowry was injured. So far in the playoffs this season, Lowry has averaged just 6.2 points and 5.6 assists per game, obviously sorry for his worth.
For the Heat, if it is a lowry who can't reach the state to fight, it is actually better to let him recuperate. A set of statistics is very hard, this season's playoffs, Lowry missed 4 games, the Heat won all! Although it was a coincidence, it was enough to prove that the Heat could afford Lowry's absence.
