Lowry returns to starting lineup in Game 3 loss vs. 76ers

Miami Heat guard Kyle Lowry was back in the starting lineup for Friday's 99-79 Game 3 loss to the Philadelphia 76ers.

The six-time All-Star went scoreless in 25 minutes of action.

Lowry hadn't played since sustaining a hamstring injury April 22. He registered 8.3 points, 5.3 assists, 3.7 boards, and 1 block per contest across three postseason games this season.

Miami went 4-0 during Lowry's absence. The Heat finished off the Atlanta Hawks in five games during the opening round and held a 2-0 series lead over the 76ers entering Friday's clash.

Third-year guard Gabe Vincent has started with the veteran sidelined. He's averaging 9.3 points, 3.5 assists, 3.3 boards, and 1 steal over four appearances as a starter.
