While the Sixers will be without Joel Embiid for games 1 and 2, the Miami Heat will be without an All-Star of their own for Game 1, as Philadelphia native Kyle Lowry will sit out with a hamstring injury.
The Miami Heat will also be without an All-Star player for Game 1 of the best-of-seven Eastern Conference against the 76ers.
The Cardinal Dougherty and Villanova product has been sidelined since straining his left hamstring on April 22 in Game 3 of the Heat’s first-round series against the Atlanta Hawks. Meanwhile, small forward Jimmy Butler said he would be ready to play in Game 1. The All-Star forward sat out the Heat’s Game 5 series-clinching win over the Hawks with knee soreness.
The MVP finalist is sidelined with an orbital fracture near his right eye and he also has a concusion. The team says there’s no timeline for his return beyond optimism that there’s a chance he could play this series. However, ESPN is reporting that he could return as soon as Game 3 or 4 when the series shifts to the Wells Fargo Center.
In regards to concussion protocol, a player has to be symptom free for 24 hours to begin the process to return to play.
