As it turns out for Toronto, the worst hasn’t quite happened — yet. Despite suffering what looked at first to be a brutal ankle injury, Kyle Lowry is listed merely as questionable for tonight’s game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. If I were a betting man (I’m not), I’d wager Lowry will definitely sit tonight. So, good news in the aggregate, but it will make things difficult tonight; the Thunder are not normally a team with which to trifle.
Despite tumbling through three straight recent losses, one coming at the hands of the hated Warriors, the Thunder still boast some extreme — in every sense of the word — talent.
