Lowry (ankle) is being officially listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Hornets, though coach Nick Nurse intimated that it's likely Lowry returns later in the week, Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reports.
EDGE Analysis
It wouldn't be surprising to see the Raptors play it safe with Lowry, as his health ahead of the playoffs is important. While he's out, Fred VanVleet should continue starting.

Lowry (ankle), who is out Friday against the Thunder, is doubtful for Sunday's game against the Hornets, Blake Murphy of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Coach Nick Nurse noted that he expects Lowry back sometime next week, meaning it's unlikely the point guard will return Sunday. Fred VanVleet should continue starting until Lowry is back.

Lowry (ankle) has been ruled out for Friday's game game against the Thunder, Blake Murphy of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
This will be Lowry's second straight absence since injuring his right ankle in Tuesday's game against the Knicks. Fred VanVleet started and scored 23 points in Lowry's absence Wednesday and should be in line to start again Friday.

Lowry (ankle) will not play Wednesday against the Thunder, Eric Smith of Sportsnet 590 The Fan reports.
EDGE Analysis
Right ankle soreness will prevent Lowry from appearing in Wednesday's contest, and it'll mark his 15th absence of the year. In his place, Jeremy Lin and Fred VanVleet should see more run.

Lowry (ankle) is questionable for Wednesday's matchup against the Thunder, Doug Smith of the Toronto Star reports.
EDGE Analysis
Being tabbed as questionable for Wednesday is a good indicator that Lowry has likely survived what could have been a significant injury to his ankle. Although Lowry may need to rest Wednesday's contest against the Thunder to boost his health, the former first-round pick will likely not miss any compelling time in the future. If Lowry is held out against the Thunder, Fred VanVleet will presumably garner another start.

Lowry will have his injured right ankle reassessed Tuesday, however coach Nick Nurse believes the injury to be "not terribly bad", Blake Murphy of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
While it's still unclear how injured Lowry's ankle is, there is optimism that it's nothing severe. More information on his status should come out following the reassessment, and he should be considered questionable for Wednesday's game against the Thunder. If Lowry is forced to miss anymore time, Jeremy Lin and Fred VanVleet should see an increased role, with one of those two likely jumping into the starting five.

Lowry left Monday's game against the Knicks with right ankle soreness and will not return, Eric Smith of Sportsnet 590 The Fan reports.
EDGE Analysis
Lowry turned his right ankle in the third quarter of Monday's game. The Raptors were up big at the time of the injury, so it's unclear if he was unable to continue or if the Raptors are just being cautious. This is the same ankle that caused him two miss the previous two contests. More information should come out following the game, and he should be considered questionable for Wednesday's game against the Thunder.

Lowry (ankle) has been cleared to play Monday against the Knicks, Eric Koreen of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Lowry will make his return after missing the previous two contests with a right ankle sprain. Expect the veteran to re-assume the starting point guard spot, likely pushing Fred VanVleet to the bench.

Lowry (ankle) has been upgraded to probable for Monday's game against the Knicks, Doug Smith of the Toronto Star reports.
EDGE Analysis
Lowry started the day as questionable after being sidelined for the last two games with a right ankle sprain, but it appears the point guard is on track to make his return Monday night. With Kawhi Leonard (rest) out, Lowry will be more of a focal point in the team's offense against New York. When Leonard sat out last Sunday's game against the Heat, Lowry posted 24 points, seven rebounds and 10 assists across 35 minutes.
