Miami Heat point guard Kyle Lowry is set to return from a hamstring injury for Game 3 of the team's second-round series against the Philadelphia 76ers and will be in the starting lineup, it was announced before tip-off.
The 36-year-old missed both Games 1 and 2 of the Eastern Conference semifinals while nursing the hamstring ailment. The Heat won both of those games and lead the series 2-0.
Lowry originally picked up the injury in Game 3 of Miami's first-round playoff series against the Atlanta Hawks on April 22. Heat head coach Erik Spoelstra said he was making progress in his recovery but there wasn't a timetable for his return.
