Kyle Lowry can’t help himself.
He knows it, everyone who’s ever been around him knows it, and when it was suggested that Raptors coach Nick Nurse might want to ease his top players back into action in the eight-game NBA “seeding season,” Lowry almost broke into open laughter.
It was one of the questions to which the answer was obvious, but it still had to be posed and Lowry answered the way everyone figured he would.
“So you know the answer,” he said.
We did.
The lights go on, the ball goes up, the score gets kept and Lowry can’t help himself.
