Updating a previous item, Kyle Lowry (knee) will not play against the Rockets on Wednesday night.
To be clear, this update comes from the team and he is not going to dress. He wanted to play against his former team tonight, but the swelling in his knee must have been too much. The good news is Lowry should be ready to go for the weekend and his status seems fine for the playoffs as it stands right now. Fantasy owners will want to pick up and play Greivis Vasquez since he'll face off against Jeremy Lin.

Updating a previous item, Kyle Lowry (knee) will try to play against the Rockets on Wednesday night.
He is likely a full-blown game-time decision for tonight and warmups will be a deciding factor. Lowy is still dealing with soreness, but there is nothing structurally wrong with his left knee. If he can't go Greivis Vasquez would start. Stay tuned.

Kyle Lowry (knee) is not expected to play against the Rockets on Wednesday.
He could barely walk on Monday night and the swelling in his knee could still be bothering him. Lowry has turned in his best year as a pro and it should be interesting to see how the Raptors fare without him. It'll likely be the Greivis Vasquez show at point guard, which makes him a nice target in daily formats.

There has been no update on Kyle Lowry's (knee) availability for Wednesday's game against the Rockets.
While the Raptors still have a day to allow Lowry to recover, he was taken to the team bus on a cart so it would be a surprise to see him take the court Wednesday night. The good news is that X-rays came back negative, but fantasy owners looking for a strong plug-and-play option for Wednesday night would be wise to see if Greivis Vasquez is available on waivers.

X-rays were negative on Kyle Lowry's left knee from Monday's injury vs. the Heat.
He had to get on the team bus on a cart, so this doesn't sound like a garden variety injury. He likely has a contusion at best and the team will re-evaluate him on Tuesday. In the meantime, Greivis Vasquez should be speculatively added in just about all leagues for his upside. As it stands right now, we would consider Lowry doubtful for Wednesday vs. the Rockets.

Kyle Lowry suffered a left knee injury and will not return to Monday's game vs. the Heat.
He bumped into LeBron in the first quarter and was able to play through it, but apparently there is some swelling in his knee and he wasn't ruled out until the third quarter. Considering the potential upside of Greivis Vasquez, it makes sense to add him speculatively almost everywhere. Lowry finished with 11 points, one board and four assists in 26 minutes.

Kyle Lowry's ankle injury wasn't a limiting factor on Sunday, as he scored 16 points with two 3-pointers, three rebounds, four assists and two steals vs. the Magic.
Lowry turned the ball over six times and he shot just 6-of-18 from the field, but Toronto rode to a victory behind strong games from Jonas Valanciunas (20 points) and DeMar DeRozan (28 points). The win helps Toronto maintain a 1.5-game lead over the Bulls for the third seed in the East.

Kyle Lowry said that his ankle was "a little sore" after Friday's game, but added that he's "fine."
"I'm okay. Good to go," he said after scoring nine points in 33 minutes of action. Lowry has been fighting through a variety of injuries since the All-Star break and it wouldn't be surprising if the Raptors rest him once their playoff position is secured, but for now he's safe to keep active in fantasy lineups.

Kyle Lowry will get his ankle taped up and return to Friday's game against the Celtics.
Lowry has a small history of being carried off the floor due to ankle injuries and luckily for owners history repeated itself. We'll keep an eye on things but for now everybody dodged a bullet.

Kyle Lowry limped to the locker room during the first half of Friday's game vs. the Raptors.
He was in a lot of pain and went to the locker room immediately following the injury. Lowry has been a tough guy all year, but this one might keep him out for the night. Stay tuned. Greivis Vasquez would be a nice pickup in all leagues should he need to miss time.
