Kyle Lowry returned to action on Thursday March 22.

There is "nothing new to report" on Kyle Lowry (bacterial infection), according to team website writer Jason Friedman. According to Friedman, it's "too soon to pinpoint a specific return." The Rockets have been tight-lipped regarding details of Lowry's injury. All they've said is that he was expected to miss 2-4 weeks from March 11. It's becoming increasingly obvious that Lowry won't be back at the front end of that timetable. The Houston Chronicle is casually speculating that Lowry "could miss a couple more weeks."

There is still to target date for Kyle Lowry's (bacterial infection) return. It's difficult to establish a timetable for Lowry due to the unique nature of his ailment. All we know is that he was slapped with a 2-4 week timetable on March 11 and the Rockets didn't sound optimistic about a quick recovery. Impressive backup Goran Dragic has averaged 15.8 points, 9.3 assists, 1.8 steals and 1.6 3-pointers in his eight starts this season.

The Rockets have refused to make Kyle Lowry available in trade talks with the Lakers, according to ESPN.com.

Updating the earlier item on Kyle Lowry, who was ruled out for 2-4 weeks due to a bacterial infection, beat writer Jonathan Feigen provided commentary from teammates that makes a return on the earlier side of the timetable seem unlikely. "It's tough, it's tough," Chase Budinger said. "He's definitely our leader and our go-to player on the team. Missing him for the next month or so is going to hurt us very much." Courtney Lee added, "I knew that Kyle was going to be out for awhile, but I didn't know he was going to be out this long so it's definitely a blow to the team and what we were trying to accomplish this year with how important he was." Goran Dragic, who is a must-own player in all formats with this news, said "We know Kyle is going to be out for awhile. We have to work hard and try to win as many games as possible." It's unclear how much of this timeline includes getting his sea legs back, but Lowry can only be considered as an upside stash for the fantasy playoffs.

Kyle Lowry will miss the next 2-4 weeks with a bacterial infection.

Kyle Lowry (illness) recently had a 'procedure' in a NYC-area hospital -- he will miss Sunday's game and is doubtful to play Tuesday in Oklahoma City. Lowry's status is a bit of a mystery, though we're not encouraged by his Tweet on Friday, "Will be out of commission for a while!!" He could play as soon as Wednesday, but we're not relying on that until we get some updates. In the meantime, Goran Dragic is an excellent plug-and-play fantasy PG.

Kyle Lowry (illness) is still hospitalized with a high fever, but his health has improved. Lowry will not play on Saturday or Sunday and sounds doubtful to play Tuesday in Oklahoma City. Goran Dragic is dealing with a minor foot issue but should be a fine spot-start while Lowry is out of commission.

Kyle Lowry (abdomen) is in the hospital and is unlikely to play on Saturday. Lowry is being tested for fever and abdominal distress, and although initial tests have been negative, Lowry's availability is in extreme question. Goran Dragic would start in his place if Lowry is unable to play, and has averaged 15.0 points, 9.5 assists, 1.5 steals and 1.5 threes in two starts this year.

An MRI on Kyle Lowry's groin found no significant damage.
