Kyle Lowry (undisclosed) wrote on his Twitter account that he was in pain and is headed for an MRI.
Lowry's two tweets were "pain!!!" and "MRI," and that is a fairly cryptic update from the player himself. He played under the weather on Wednesday but came out of the game feeling fine, so it's a surprise that he's getting an MRI. If he's forced to miss any time, Goran Dragic would start in his place. Dragic is averaging 15.0 points, 9.5 assists, 1.5 steals and 1.5 treys in two games as a starter this season.

He wasn't feeling well but looked good tonight. Keep him in your lineup.

Kyle Lowry hit 8-of-12 shots for 26 points, three rebounds, five assists and hit all four of his 3-point attempts as the Rockets beat the Raptors Tuesday.
Kevin Martin played 31 minutes, hitting just 3-of-15 shots for 14 points, but it does appear that Kevin McHale might be done messing with the minutes of his stars.

Kyle Lowry sprained his right ankle early on Wednesday but was able to finish with 13 points, eight rebounds and five assists on 5-of-11 shooting in a win over the Sixers.
He played well late in the game and can probably use the All-Star break as much as any player to get healthy. Expect a big second half from Lowry, who has struggled at times recently. Goran Dragic is finally over the flu and had 11 points and three assists off the bench, but has very little value as long as Lowry is healthy.

Kyle Lowry left Houston's game in the first quarter with a sprained ankle, but later returned in the second quarter.
He had his ankle re-taped and looks good to go. The All-Star break should give him time to heal, as well.

Kyle Lowry scored 24 points on 7-of-17 shooting (including three treys) with seven rebounds, nine assists, and four steals in Monday's win over the Grizzlies.
Lowry played 47 minutes and is red-hot right now, and congratulations are in order if you bought low while he was slumping prior to his court date.

Kyle Lowry was on fire from downtown in Sunday's win over the Jazz, scoring 32 points on 9-of-13 field goals, 7-of-8 three-pointers, and 7-of-7 free throws.
Lowry added nine assists, one steal and only one turnover, before leaving to a well-deserved ovation from the home crowd. His shooting has been streaky at best, but he routinely fills up the stat sheet and is crushing his preseason Average Draft Position -- he's the No. 9 overall fantasy player in eight-cat leagues.

Kyle Lowry shot 3-of-10 from the field on Sunday, scoring 10 points, while adding three rebounds, nine assists and four steals in 35 minutes.
Lowry suffered through a terrible slump in late January but has bounced back nicely. Even when his shot isn't falling, Lowry does plenty in other categories to be a must-start fantasy PG. His elbow strain doesn't seem to be an issue.

Kyle Lowry played through a right elbow strain on Thursday and had 14 points, one assist, one steal, one block and two 3-pointers on 5-of-13 shooting in a tough win at Phoenix.
Lowry is one of the few Houston starters immune to the quick hook from Kevin McHale, and was the only starter to log more minutes than five players on the bench (25 minutes, barely more than Jordan Hill). He didn't shoot it particularly well, but the elbow didn't appear to be bothering him. The Rockets won at Portland on Wedneday and at Phoenix on Thursday, which would be a tough task for any team. Keep rolling with Lowry, which is more than we can say for the rest of the Rockets starters.

Kyle Lowry will start for the Rockets Thursday despite a right elbow strain.
Goran Dragic takes a hit, but the injury is to Lowry's shooting arm and he's in some pain, so let's see how this plays out tonight before saying Dragic should automatically be dropped.
