Beat writer Jonathan Feigen notes that Kyle Lowry (bacterial infection) will have a "long way to go" even if/when he gets cleared. Lowry is expected to be checked again in 8-10 days. But he's been barred from activity since getting hospitalized on March 8, so an immediate return is not realistic. Moreover, backup Goran Dragic is playing at a borderline All-Star level. Even if Lowry returns soon after that 8-10 day mark, we can't expect normal minutes.
