Miami Heat guard Kyle Lowry is traveling with the club to Philadelphia but remains out for Thursday's Game 6 showdown due to a lingering hamstring injury, the team announced Wednesday.
Lowry re-aggravated the ailment during Sunday's loss to the Philadelphia 76ers. He originally sustained the injury in Game 3 of the Heat's opening-round series against the Atlanta Hawks.
Third-year guard Gabe Vincent started in Lowry's place once again Tuesday evening. He recorded 15 points, five boards, two assists, and one steal in Miami's Game 5 victory. The Heat have yet to drop a postseason game with Lowry out of the lineup.
Miami can advance to its second East finals in three seasons with a victory Thursday versus the 76ers.
