Injuries are part of the playoffs, and point guards are victims in this postseason. Raptors point guard Kyle Lowry sustained a sprained left ankle, was still in pain on Thursday and is questionable for Game 3 on Friday.
Already a bit behind the curve after missing a month following the All-Star break then stung by a bad back, Lowry’s contribution – or lack thereof – will go a long way in determining Toronto’s Game 3 productivity. It’s not his fault, but the Raptors need him close to his best if they want to extend this series beyond four or five games.
