Miami Heat Playoffs: Kyle Lowry Still A Question Entering Game 1 With 76ers

During the lone NBA Playoff game on Friday night and just a day or so after the game, the news broke that he had sustained an orbital fracture from the blow and would be out for an indefinite amount of time in the NBA’s concussion protocol with a mild concussion.

Though that, at least, means he’ll miss Games 1 and 2 of the series, it has since been reported that he may get back earlier.

Philly isn’t the only ones dealing with an injury to one of their most essential players though and though the guy they’re missing is more crucial than the next guy in question for the Miami Heat, he’s still important too.

In fact and again, though Embiid is the more talented player in question here, the importance factor may be closer to equal than it isn’t. The things that their teams depend on them for are just as important.

Again, follow us here.
