Kyle Lowry At The Forefront Of Keeping This Injured Miami Heat Team Afloat
By Eric Fritts
The Miami Heat are where everyone is right now, the meat of the season and dealing with player injuries. Well, there’s that as well as some health and safety protocols.
Of course, it’s never encouraging to play NBA basketball without your two best players, but the Miami Heat have found ways to survive. While you look at the contributions of the guys deeper in the rotation, as they are huge, a lot of what they’ve been able to do is because of Kyle Lowry.
In the last nine games that Bam Adebayo has missed, the Heat are 5-4.

Ironically enough and in Jimmy Butler’s last nine missed games, they are also 5-4.
It’s not amazing but it is substantial given how important those two players are. The main reason for this is Kyle Lowry.
Lowry was acquired this past offseason in a sign-and-trade deal with Toronto. He was thought to be the final piece that Miami needed to round out into a championship team.
Looking at his play thus far, that is proving to be correct, albeit not for the reasons everyone thought necessarily.
