Lowry (rest) will play Friday against the Hornets, Josh Lewenberg of TSN reports. Lowry said all along that his plan was to sit out three games and return in Charlotte, and it appears that's what will happen after he went through a successful workout Thursday. Prior to the absence, Lowry struggled shooting the ball, but he's expected to return refreshed, and his numbers could see a mild boost. With Lowry back, Greivis Vasquez will shift back to a bench role.

Lowry (rest) took part in an optional workout on Thursday, and could return to the lineup on Friday against the Hornets, the Toronto Star reports. Raptors' coach Dwane Casey wouldn't commit to anything beyond saying they would see how Lowry felt on Friday, the point guard himself is clearly itching to get back in the lineup after being a spectator to a tough loss Wednesday to the Cavs. If he is in uniform Friday, expect him to come out firing.

Lowry (rest) will not play Wednesday against the Cavaliers.

Lowry (rest) remains questionable to play Wednesday against the Cavs, Sam Amico of Fox Sports reports. Lowry has sat out the last two games while nursing several minor injuries, and coach Dwane Casey indicated that he could be held out the rest of the week.

Lowry (rest) will miss Monday's game, and could be out for the rest of the week, the Toronto Sun's Ryan Wolstat reports. Lowry said the priority is being healthy for the playoffs, so Wolstat speculated that Lowry could miss a few more games after Monday.

Lowry (rest), who sat out Saturday in New York, may miss Monday's game at Philadelphia as well, TSN Sports reports.

Lowry scored 22 points (8-19 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 5-6 FT) with five assists, three steals and two rebounds in 34 minutes during Monday's loss to the Pelicans. The Raptors' point guard had a couple of relatively quiet games coming out of the All-Star break, but was able to return to form on Monday. He'll try to keep his momentum going on Tuesday against the Mavericks and Rajon Rondo, a defensive assignment Lowry's had some success against in the past, including a 35-point explosion in November while Rondo was still with the Celtics.
