Is Kyle Lowry playing tonight?
Per Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel, Lowry will not play on Tuesday night against his former team due to personal reasons.
This marks the ninth consecutive game that Lowry will miss due to personal reasons, a streak that started on Monday, Jan. 17 when Lowry missed his first scheduled matchup against the Raptors.
While there have been no concrete reports on Lowry's absence, Jimmy Butler had this to say before the Heat's matchup with Toronto on Saturday, Jan. 29: "You’ve always got to make sure the family’s good... We all miss him. We want him and his family to be OK."
