The Miami Heat got some big news on Wednesday: Kyle Lowry and Jimmy Butler will play the Houston Rockets on Friday.
Lowry recovered from his ankle injury and Butler came out of the NBA’s COVID-19 protocol, a pair of luxury additions for the Miami squad, which is fourth in the Eastern Conference at 22-13, 2.5. victories for Brooklyn Nets leaders.
The Heat are expected to have enough for Friday’s game in Houston, because Kyle Lowry is expected to be cleared by then, and Jimmy Butler is expected to be able to return from his ankle sprain.
