Philadelphia 76ers guard Kyle Lowry (conditioning) will not play in the second half of the team's back-to-back as part of his back-to-competition reconditioning.

Milwaukee Bucks guard Pat Connaughton (knee) has been listed as probable for the Friday night matchup against the Minnesota Timberwolves.

Duncan Robinson Is Available On Friday

Miami Heat forward Duncan Robinson (shoulder) has been listed on the injury report as available despite his shoulder sprain.
