Lowry (wrist) could return to the court within four-to-five weeks, Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo! Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Raptors announced Monday that Lowry would undergo surgery Tuesday to remove loose bodies from his right wrist with the goal of returning in time for the playoffs, and Wojnarowski's report would seem to more or less align with that ideal. If Lowry is able to recover from the procedure in that range, he'd be able to get in at least a handful of games before the end of the regular season in mid-April. If that ends up being the case, in may be worthwhile to still hold Lowry in deeper leagues with bench spots, but those in leagues with smaller rosters are better off casting their lot with healthier options over the final third of the season. Until Lowry is cleared to return, Cory Joseph will serve as the team's starting point guard and should regularly clear 30 minutes.
