2021–22 Miami Heat season

On August 6, 2021, the Miami Heat acquired Kyle Lowry from the Raptors via a sign-and-trade in exchange for Goran Dragić and Precious Achiuwa. On November 6, 2021, Lowry recorded his first triple double with the Heat and his 19th career triple double in a 118–115 win over the Utah Jazz with a statline of 20 points, 12 rebounds and 10 assist while shooting 72% from the field.

During the 2022 playoff run, Lowry missed multiple games due to a hamstring injury. On May 27, in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference finals, Lowry recorded a double-double of 18 points and 10 assists in a 111–103 win over the Boston Celtics.

On March 18, with a win over the Oklahoma City Thunder, the Heat won the Southeast Division. On April 7, for only the fourth time in their history, they also clinched the No.1 Seed in the Eastern Conference.

The Heat defeated the Atlanta Hawks in the first round in five games, then defeated the Philadelphia 76ers in the second round in six games and faced the Boston Celtics in the Eastern Conference finals where they lost at home in a seven-game series. This is the first time that the Heat were eliminated in the conference finals since 2005.^[2][3][4]

This is Miami's first and only season where they played every home game in the newly renamed FTX Arena, as it would later be renamed midway through the next season following the Bankruptcy of FTX.
