Kyle Lowry sat on the podium at media day for the Raptors in September and told everyone who would listen that he wasn’t ready to start the season after summer thumb surgery and that he was going to take it nice and slow and ease into the season.
“It’s going to be a process,” he said. “I’m a slow roller, (I’m going to) make sure I’m fully ready to go when the time comes.”
The unspoken part of the session was Lowry was a bit out of shape and not in any monstrous rush to carry a heavy load.
