I was writing a nice happy piece on P.J. Tucker and his awesome defense when this little nugget drops.
Kyle Lowry to undergo surgery Tuesday morning to remove loose bodies from right wrist. Aim to return for playoffs. #WeTheNorth

So. More pressing matters.
Instead of looking specifically at Tucker (we’ll still do this, maybe next week), let’s try to tackle the issue of building a rotation without Kyle Lowry, hopefully just to keep the team treading water until his return (in potentially just 4 to 5 weeks), but possibly for use in the playoffs as well if his return is delayed.
