Lowry exits early with hamstring injury in Game 3 loss to Hawks
Miami Heat guard Kyle Lowry left Friday's contest against the Atlanta Hawks in the third quarter due to a left hamstring injury and didn't return as the team dropped Game 3 111-110.
Heat head coach Erik Spoelstra said Lowry will undergo more tests Saturday as the severity of the injury is unknown.
Lowry plans to have around-the-clock treatment in hopes of participating in Game 4 on Sunday, ESPN's Dave McMenamin reports.
The 36-year-old checked out with 1:59 left to play in the third quarter at the State Farm Arena in Atlanta. He registered six points, five assists, and four rebounds in almost 23 minutes of play.
