Miami Heat guard Kyle Lowry put together a forgettable performance in Game 2 against the Milwaukee Bucks. He scored five points — on 2-for-5 shooting from the field and 1-for-3 from behind the three-point arc — grabbed four rebounds, and dished out three assists in a game the Heat lost by a final score of 138-122. Still, when Khris Middleton, Brook Lopez, and the Bucks visit the Kaseya Center on Saturday night to play the Heat, every Heat fan will want to know: Is Kyle Lowry playing tonight in Game 3 vs. the Bucks?

The Heat initially had Lowry listed as questionable for Saturday's showdown with left knee soreness, per the NBA's official injury report. However, the good news for Miami fans is that Lowry has now been upgraded to available less than two hours before tipoff.
In other injury news relevant to the Heat, Tyler Herro (right hand surgery) will sit out for Miami.
Kyle Lowry, 37, is in his 17th year in the NBA and second as a member of the storied Heat franchise. He averaged 11.2 points, 4.1 rebounds, 5.1 assists, 1.0 steals, and 0.4 blocks per game across 55 appearances this season (44 starts).
The former Villanova star struggled to score the ball efficiently from the field in the 2022-23 campaign — Lowry's 40.4% field-goal percentage was his lowest since the 2012-13 season.

But with regard to the question, Is Kyle Lowry playing tonight in Game 3 vs. the Bucks, the answer is yes.
