BOSTON — Forget about his dead-eye three-point shot, pick-and-roll wizardry or general relentlessness on every possession. Nothing is more impressive (and potentially worrisome) about Kyle Lowry’s season than the minutes.
Entering Friday night's 101-94 victory over the Boston Celtics, the All-Star floor general was averaging an astounding 37.4 per game. If that keeps up, he’ll be the first guard in nearly a decade to average that many minutes after celebrating his 30th birthday. (Allen Iverson was the last to do it).
So far, it’s plenty worthwhile for the Toronto Raptors.
