Lowry Out Indefinitely With Wrist Injury

The Raptors will have to wait to see how all of the pieces they acquired at the trade deadline will fit with their existing rotation. Last night, it was announced that All-Star point guard Kyle Lowry will miss an indefinite amount of time with a lingering wrist injury. Prior to the club’s Friday night contest against Boston, head coach Dwane Casey told Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet that “it’s not a one-day thing.”

The guard apparently first injured the wrist prior to the All-Star break but didn’t realize it at the time. “Honestly, I thought I’d slept on it wrong — I thought it would go away,” Lowry said. “It was a little sore, but I paid no attention to it.”

Lowry, who’s averaged a career best 22.8 points per game in in 56 games for the Raptors, participated in both the Three-Point Contest and All-Star Game last weekend but has otherwise rested. The pain, however, continues to plague him now that the club has returned to action with new acquisitions Serge Ibaka and P.J. Tucker in tow.

As of Saturday morning, an official medical diagnosis hasn’t been announced and may not until after the weekend but the guard has been sent for medical imaging.
