Kyle Lowry could miss MOnday's game against the Warriors with his back injury. Lowry did not practice on Sunday and was "moving rather gingerly" while his teammates were practicing on Sunday, leaving him very questionable for Monday. If he is forced to sit out, look for Jose Calderon to play more minutes than he usually would.

Kyle Lowry (back) did not practice on Sunday. His back "tightened up" on him in Saturday's loss, but he was able to play through the injury and logged 10 minutes after his return in the third quarter. Even though Lowry's value is floundering right now, his upside along with the possibility of Jose Calderon getting traded make him a prime buy-low candidate.

Dwane Casey said Kyle Lowry's back tightened up on him during Saturday's loss to the Cavs. He left the game in the first half and returned in the middle of the third quarter. Lowry hasn't really dealt with back problems during the season since 2010, so there's really no reason to panic. He was able to play through it and finished with six points, five boards and seven assists in 22 minutes. The Raptors play Golden State on Monday.

Kyle Lowry went to the locker room late in the first half on Saturday with an undisclosed injury. We're assuming he'll be back out on the floor after halftime, and will let you know if it doesn't happen.

Kyle Lowry played just 21 minutes against the Magic on Thursday and had three points, four rebounds, six assists, one 3-pointer and four turnovers. Lowry had a couple inexcusable turnovers in the game and his last one caused Dwane Casey to get him out of there as he attempted a wild pass to the corner. He's played in just 22.3 minutes per game in his last three, but his owners have to weather the storm and let him build some value since he can do it all.

Kyle Lowry played 28 minutes in a 123-116 overtime loss to Miami on Wednesday and had 13 points, four boards, one assist, one steal and one 3-pointer. He played some shooting guard next to Jose Calderon during this game, which is something that will have to happen more often for him to develop some consistency. Lowry can fill up the stat sheet across all the fantasy categories, so his owners should stick with him until his value heats up.

Kyle Lowry played just 18 minutes in a win over the Lakers on Sunday and had eight points, four boards, two assists, three steals and two 3-pointers. He attempted three shots from the field and didn't turn the ball over, so he was much more cautious with the basketball. In his previous two games, Lowry averaged 35.0 minutes and attempted 13.0 shots. He and Jose Calderon are essentially in a platoon at point guard and both with provide some inconsistency.

Kyle Lowry shot 3-of-11 from the field for 11 points to go with five rebounds, 11 assists, two 3-pointers and five turnovers in 36 minutes against the Sixers on Friday. The good news is that he got some heavy burn, but the bad news is that he played poorly with those five turnovers and getting destroyed by Jrue Holiday. Jose Calderon leads the league in assist-to-turnover ratio, so this could still be a developing situation. The Raptors take on the Lakers in a matinee on Sunday and we'll be watching that game closely.

Kyle Lowry (ankle) did not show up on the injury report and should play on Friday against the Sixers. Lowry was a speculative add to our injury report as a precautionary measure, so in this case no news is as good of news as owners are going to get. We'd be hard pressed not to have him in lineups.

Kyle Lowry shook off his sprained ankle and went off for 26 points, five rebounds, seven assists, two steals and two 3-pointers on 8-of-15 shooting in 34 minutes Wednesday. Lowry wasn't even expected to play due to his injury, and backed up his incredible 21-point performance in just 15 minutes on Monday with tonight's gem, while Jose Calderon sat on the bench and watched for much of the second half. Lowry will force Dwane Casey to consider putting him in the starting lineup in place of Calderon, as long as he's able to walk in the morning. If Lowry was dropped in your league, pick him up, while owners of Calderon should just stand pat until we see how this plays out. Now Lowry's owners just have to hope his ankle feels OK in the morning and that he doesn't miss any time. He'll be receiving treatment on it on Thursday, so watch for updates.
