Kyle Lowry (triceps) will practice on Thursday and he will play Friday or Saturday.
This development is under the assumption that Lowry doesn't suffer any setbacks. He's missed seven games so far and his return should have a negative impact on Jose Calderon and Alan Anderson.

Kyle Lowry (triceps) is getting closer to a return, but he will not play on Wednesday.
The Raptors want Lowry to get at least one more practice before he returns, but it sounds like he's working his way back onto the court. Dwane Casey previously said that he would have to figure out whether Lowry would return to a starting role or keep Jose Calderon in the lineup, but either way, both guards figure to see plenty of time on the court.

Kyle Lowry (triceps) and Andrea Bargnani (elbow) could return to bench roles when they're healthy enough to play.
Coach Dwane Casey "would not rule out sticking with what is working" when the two players return, and we can't blame him considering the Raptors are finally winning a few games. In this scenario, Jose Calderon would continue to start at point guard, while Ed Davis would continue to start at power forward. This isn't the last we've heard of this, and we'll be keeping a very close eye on this situation to see how it unfolds. "That's way down the road," Casey said.

Kyle Lowry was diagnosed with a partial tear of his triceps and is out for 10 days.
This is not the news that Lowry owners wanted to hear. A tear to the triceps is certainly not a day-to-day injury and there's a chance that Lowry could even miss more than 10 days with the injury. Jose Calderon needs to be owned in all leagues.

Kyle Lowry (triceps) will not play against the Nets on Wednesday.
The team is waiting for the results of of tests on his injury. Lowry owners can only hope that his injury is just a strain and nothing is seriously wrong. The Raptors next game is Friday against the Mavericks. Jose Calderon will get the start tonight and is worth a spot-start in all leagues.

Kyle Lowry's injury from Monday night's game against the Blazers was changed from a shoulder injury to a right triceps injury.
Lowry hasn't seen the floor since leaving the game early in the third quarter and we're mid-way through the fourth quarter at the time of this report. We're comfortable with the idea that he would have returned now if he was going to return, and with that in mind the possibility that he will have to miss more time goes up. Jose Calderon has some low-end value regardless of Lowry's status, but if Lowry misses any games he becomes a must-start player.

Kyle Lowry left Monday's game during the first minute of the second half due to a shoulder injury and is questionable to return.
Lowry is back on the bench and flexing his right hand, but the latest reports have his right shoulder as the issue. Add this to the ankle problem and you have an officially injury prone player. Jose Calderon will be a must-start player if Lowry misses any time, but the fact that Lowry is on the bench probably means that the injury isn't too serious.

Kyle Lowry had just six rebounds and nine assists vs. the Clippers on Sunday, but he scored just four points on 2-of-6 shooting and coughed up five turnovers.
Lowry went off for 34 points and 11 assists on Wednesday, but he's struggled in the past two games and looks understandably frustrated with the Raptors' failures on both ends of the court. The fantasy stud will be central to any success Toronto has this season, and we expect him to bounce back in four games this week.

The Raptors held a team meeting after the team's 32-point loss to the Jazz on Friday.
Kyle Lowry aggravating his right ankle injury certainly didn't help matters, but one player usually can't make up 32 points. Multiple players were reportedly seen yelling at each other in the huddle and on the bench and there was plenty of aggravated talk after the meeting. Simply put, the Raptors are not a very good team right now and a team meeting, however necessary, is unlikely to help.
