Kyle Lowry limps away from Raptors’ rout of Knicks

The sense of dread and letdown and disappointment that enveloped the Scotiabank Centre on Monday evening was palpable as Kyle Lowry limped to the Raptors locker room.

He had been outstanding in his first game back after missing two with a sprained left ankle — 15 points, eight assists, six rebounds in just 26 minutes — when Mitchell Robinson of the New York Knicks rolled up on Lowry’s legs as the Raptors point guard was about to lead a fast break.
