Kyle Lowry’s ankle injury comes at the worst, and best, of times for Raptors

When Kyle Lowry addressed the media after the Raptors’ win over the New York Knicks on Monday, a game he left early after wrenching his right ankle in an awkward collision, the all-star point guard expressed hope to “not be out long” with this latest injury.

Implied in that statement was a resignation that he would miss at least some time, including Wednesday night’s road game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. The team confirmed he had suffered a sprained ankle on Tuesday, and listed him as “questionable” for Wednesday.
