The Heat could be missing key players for their crucial matchup with the Dallas Mavericks this weekend.

Center Bam Adebayo (hip bruise) and Kyle Lowry (left knee soreness) are questionable for Miami’s 7:30 p.m. game against Dallas on Saturday.

Adebayo suffered the hip injury when he fall during the Heat’s loss to the New York Knicks on Wednesday.

Adebayo has been one of Miami’s most consistent contributors this year, playing in 72 of 77 games so far this season. The 25-year-old center is averaging 20.7 points and a team-best 9.3 rebounds this season.

Lowry did not play in the Heat’s loss to the Knicks, the second game of a back-to-back, after playing in Miami’s previous four games. Lowry has been dealing with nagging knee soreness for much of the season.

The Heat will also be without rookie Nikola Jovic (back spasms). Jamal Cain and Orlando Robinson remain with Miami’s G-League affiliate, the Sioux Falls Skyforce.
