Kyle Lowry is on the injury report for Game 2.

UPDATE: Kyle Lowry will play, according to Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel

On Wednesday evening, the Miami Heat will be back in Wisconsin for Game 2 of their first-round playoff series against the Milwaukee Bucks.      

For the game, starting point guard Kyle Lowry is on the injury report listed as questionable.    

Underdog NBA: "Kyle Lowry (knee) listed questionable for Wednesday."

The NBA Champion played 18 minutes in Game 1 and had two points, one rebound, three assists and one steal. 

At 37, he is no longer the star he once was and averaged 11.2 points, 4.1 rebounds, 5.1 assists and 1.0 steals per contest in 55 regular season games. 

Despite his down year, the Heat were still able to finish the season with a 44-38 record. 

They were the seventh seed but lost their first play-in tournament game, so they are the eighth seed. 

The Heat will have a chance to take a commanding 2-0 lead in the series with a victory on Wednesday because they won Game 1 (on Sunday) 130-117. 

Games 3 and 4 will be in Miami, so they can take total control of the series. 

At home, the Heat have gone 27-14 in the 41 games they have hosted in Miami, Florida. 

They are coming off a year where they lost to the Boston Celtics in Game 7 of the Conference Finals. 

As for the Bucks, they had the best record in the NBA during the regular season (58-24) and are the first seed in the east. 

Last year, they lost in the second round, but in 2021 they won the NBA Championship.
