Raptors host Heat, but could be without Lowry

TORONTO -- The Toronto Raptors eked out an overtime victory over the Nets on Monday night, but they left Brooklyn uncertain about the status of injured All-Star point guard Kyle Lowry.

The club said Lowry sustained "an acute back spasm" and would be reevaluated Tuesday.

The injury to Lowry made a tough night even more difficult.

While the Raptors were working overtime to beat the Nets 114-113, the Miami Heat were resting for their game against Toronto on Tuesday night at the Air Canada Centre.

Lowry hit the court hard on a play under the basket late in overtime Monday.
