Kyle Lowry left Friday's blowout loss to the Jazz due to an aggravation of his right ankle injury, and finished with 10 points on 3-of-10 shooting (no threes), three rebounds, four assists, and one steal.
Lowry's ankle is showing signs of weakness that occurs after serious injury, and it's entirely possible given his attitude toward playing hurt that he returned too early. Owners aren't going to want to panic considering he is a top-20 fantasy play, but if there is a way to swap his value out for another player of relatively equal value it should be explored.

Kyle Lowry went to the locker room in the second quarter of Friday's game against the Jazz with an apparent right ankle injury.
Kyle tripped over DeMarre Carroll is transition and immediately called for the trainer without even going to the ground. He hobbled back to the locker room without assistance. Stay tuned.

Kyle Lowry had 34 points, five rebounds, 11 assists, a steal and four 3-pointers on 9-of-20 shooting in Wednesday's loss to the Kings.
It's probably not a coincidence that DeMar DeRozan had just 14 points on a night when Lowry was beasting, and given Lowry's recent run, DeRozan could continue to see a hit in value. Meanwhile, Lowry's leg injury seems like a distant memory as he is rewarding owners who had patience through the dark times.

Kyle Lowry made all 11 of his free throws and had 24 points, three rebounds, seven assists, three blocks and one 3-pointer on Monday.
Lowry was shooting his lowest free throw percentage since 2008 at just 76 percent, but tonight was a reminder of what a great asset he can be in that category. He's a fantasy stud and is clearly over his foot injury.

Kyle Lowry shot 5-of-9 from the field for 15 points, adding seven rebounds, two assists, one steal and one 3-pointer in 24 minutes against the Suns on Friday.
Lowry had not been able to shoot over 40 percent in any of the six games since returning from his foot injury and this solid shooting performance is overdue. It's nice to see him get back on track and he should go back to putting up big-time numbers on the offensive end.

Kyle Lowry had his worst stat line of the season on Wednesday by shooting 3-of-10 from the field for 12 points, adding four boards, four assists and one 3-pointer in 27 minutes against the Grizzlies.
This was just his second game without a steal and Lowry also has some shooting concerns popping up. Since his return for a foot injury on November 20, Lowry is shooting just 35.4 percent from the field. He'll be fine and only an injury should keep him from elite fantasy production.

Kyle Lowry was surprisingly passive against his former team Tuesday, finishing with just seven points, eight rebounds, five assists and a steal on 3-of-10 shooting in an ugly loss to the Rockets.
Lowry fell out of favor with Kevin McHale last season due to being indifferent on defense and wasn't exactly getting after it tonight. However, he's also still not at 100 percent from his ankle injury, and owners just have to be thankful he's playing. Hopefully the ankle will continue to improve and his game will follow suit.

Kyle Lowry filled up the stat sheet on Sunday with 20 points, eight rebounds, four assists, one steal, one block and four 3-pointers in 45 minutes against the Spurs.
We can probably safely say that Lowry is over his foot injury. That injury is the only blemish on his fantasy value and he is putting up some huge numbers with his new team.

Kyle Lowry (ankle) was at practice on Saturday.
Lowry was a little sore at practice, but the fact that he was there means that the "jammed" ankle that was reported late Friday night is a minor issue. He should be able to give it a go against the Spurs on Sunday afternoon.

Kyle Lowry said he "jammed" his Friday's game against the Pistons.
Lowry was able to play through it, so it's not likely going to be anything major. That said, he is coming off a six-game absence with a foot injury and it may be worth monitoring this situation. Jose Calderon would see a huge bump should this be an issue that costs Lowry a game or more.
