Officially active Monday Lowry (hand) will play Monday against Brooklyn.

Impact Lowry went through pregame warm-ups and has been cleared for action, marking a surprising rise from his doubtful designation Monday afternoon. He joins a Miami backcourt that is now fully healthy with Jimmy Butler (toe) returning from a seven-game absence, although rookie wing Jaime Jaquez (groin) is out and set to be sidelined for multiple games.

JANUARY 15 • ROTOWIRE

Trending toward playing Lowry (hand) has been upgraded to questionable and will warm up with the intention of playing, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact Lowry was initially listed as doubtful due to a hand injury that caused him to miss back-to-back games before he returned Sunday versus Charlotte. He played 26 minutes but was held scoreless during the first half of Miami's back-to-back set, so even if he's cleared to play, the veteran point guard may have some restrictions.

JANUARY 15 • ROTOWIRE

Unlikely to play Monday Lowry (hand) is doubtful for Monday's matchup against the Nets, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Impact Lowry missed two games with a sprained left hand but played Sunday against the Hornets. However, it appears he's in a lot of discomfort on the second night of a back-to-back. His presumed absence could lead to more minutes for Josh Richardson, Caleb Martin and other backcourt playmakers.

JANUARY 15 • ROTOWIRE

Cleared to play Lowry (hand) is available for Sunday's game against the Hornets, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Impact As expected, Lowry has been upgraded from probable to available and will presumably return to the starting lineup following a two-game absence due to a left hand sprain. Over his last four appearances (all starts), Lowry has averaged 7.5 points, 3.5 assists, 2.3 rebounds and 1.0 steals in 22.3 minutes per game.

JANUARY 14 • ROTOWIRE

Expected to play against Charlotte Lowry (hand) is probable for Sunday's game versus the Hornets, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Impact Lowry is expected to return to action Sunday after missing the previous two games with a left hand sprain. The veteran point guard is averaging 8.4 points, 3.6 assists, 2.0 rebounds and 1.0 steals in 24.4 minutes across his last five appearances.

JANUARY 13 • ROTOWIRE

Won't play Friday Lowry (hand) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Magic.

Impact As expected, Lowry has been downgraded from doubtful to out and will miss a second consecutive game after spraining his left hand during Monday's win over the Rockets. With Jimmy Butler (toe) and Tyler Herro (shoulder) also sidelined, Duncan Robinson, Nikola Jovic and Jaime Jaquez should continue to see increased usage versus Orlando.

JANUARY 12 • ROTOWIRE

Unlikely to play Friday Lowry (hand) is doubtful for Friday's game against Orlando, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Impact Lowry sustained a left hand sprain Monday against the Rockets and will likely be forced to miss a second consecutive game Friday. If he's unable to suit up, his next chance to return would be Sunday against the Hornets.

JANUARY 11 • ROTOWIRE

Downgraded to out Lowry (hand) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Thunder.

Impact As expected, Lowry has been downgraded from doubtful to out. The veteran point guard was listed with just a hand injury, so it appears he's past the illness that caused him to miss Tuesday's practice. His next chance to suit up will come Friday versus Orlando.

JANUARY 10 • ROTOWIRE

Doubtful for Wednesday Lowry (hand, illness) is doubtful for Wednesday's game against the Thunder.

Impact Lowry left Monday's win over Houston early due to a hand injury but was absent from Tuesday's practice due to an illness. It's worth noting that Miami's injury report has Lowry listed with just a hand injury, but the extent of both issues remains unclear. Caleb Martin (ankle, illness) is also doubtful, while Jimmy Butler (toe) has already been ruled out, so Tyler Herro, Jaime Jaquez and Nikola Jovic should all see increased roles again.

JANUARY 9 • ROTOWIRE

Dealing with an illness Lowry (hand) was not at practice Tuesday due to an illness, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Impact Because Lowry was absent Tuesday, there's no additional update on his left hand sprain at the moment. That injury forced him to leave Monday's game against the Rockets after just 16 minutes. Miami will release their injury report Tuesday evening, at which point there will be more clarity on his status for Wednesday's game against the Thunder.

Suffers left hand sprain Lowry suffered a left hand sprain during Monday's game against the Rockets, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact Lowry played 16 minutes Monday before leaving for the locker room, although the Heat never released an official update. He returned to the bench a few minutes later, but he never took the floor again. He finished the night with six points (2-3 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds, one assist and two blocks. With Jimmy Butler (foot) still sidelined, the Heat could be in rough shape if Lowry misses time. If that does happen, Miami will need guys like Tyler Herro and Josh Richardson to increase their time on the ball.

JANUARY 9 • ROTOWIRE

Good for Monday Lowry (illness) has been cleared for Monday's game against the Rockets, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact Lowry has averaged 7.0 points, 3.7 assists, 2.0 rebounds, 0.8 steals and 0.3 blocks across 24.3 minutes in his last six games. Despite his illness, he'll retain his role as the team's starting point guard during Monday's matchup with Houston.

JANUARY 9 • ROTOWIRE

Dealing with illness Lowry is probable for Monday's game against the Rockets due to an illness.

Impact Lowry is a late addition to the injury report, but he's still trending toward suiting up Monday. Over his last three games, the veteran point guard has averaged 8.0 points, 4.3 assists, 2.3 rebounds and 1.3 steals in 24.3 minutes.

JANUARY 8 • ROTOWIRE

Cleared to play Lowry (head) will play Monday night against the Clippers.

Impact Lowry was held out of his team's last two contests while recovering from a head injury, but he'll presumably slot back in as the Heat's starting point guard Monday. R.J. Hampton should move back to a bench role with Lowry cleared to return.

JANUARY 2 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable for Monday Lowry (head) is questionable for Monday's game against the Clippers.

Impact Lowry has missed the past two games for Miami and remains day-to-day. It's worth noting that he cleared all his concussion tests, and the Heat are calling his injury a contusion. If Lowry is unable to play, the Heat will likely let Tyler Herro run the bulk of their offense with R.J. Hampton playing just eight minutes in a start against the Jazz on Saturday.

DECEMBER 31, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Listed out vs. Jazz Lowry (soreness) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against Utah, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Impact Lowry will miss his second straight contest as a result of a head injury, though Tim Reynolds of Associated Press notes that the point guard has passed all concussion tests. Tyler Herro should make another start at point guard in Lowry's absence.

DECEMBER 30, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Listed as questionable Lowry (soreness) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Jazz.

Impact Lowry was unable to play Thursday against the Warriors, although it's possible the Heat were being extra cautious. Hopefully Lowry will be able to give it a go, as the Heat could be shorthanded again. Jimmy Butler (calf), Jaime Jaquez (illness) and Josh Richardson (back) are also questionable for Miami. If Lowry is unable to play, Jamal Cain could get another extended look after his strong performance Thursday. R.J. Hampton is also a candidate to see more run if Lowry sits.

Ruled out Thursday Lowry (soreness) won't play in Thursday's game versus the Warriors, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Impact Lowry has been downgraded from questionable to out Thursday due to general soreness. With Jimmy Butler (calf) still out, Tyler Herro figures to take over the majority of the playmaking duties against Golden State. Lowry's next chance to suit up is Saturday's matchup with the Jazz.

DECEMBER 28, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable against Warriors Lowry is listed as questionable for Thursday's game versus the Warriors due to general soreness.

Impact It's unclear exactly what is bothering Lowry, but the Heat could simply be playing it cautiously with their 37-year-old point guard. If Lowry is unable to suit up, Tyler Herro would likely take over more of the playmaking duties for Miami.

Returns after brief departure Lowry (lower leg) has checked back into Friday's game against the Hawks after going to the locker room, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
