Following offseason thumb surgery, Kyle Lowry has yet to participate in training camp drills for the Toronto Raptors.
Lowry, who also missed playing for Team USA in the FIBA World Cup thanks to the surgery, initially hurt the thumb in the Eastern Conference Semi-Finals against the Philadelphia 76ers in May. With the help of what looked at times like an oven mitt, he was able to keep it loose and play through it — culminating in a masterpiece performance in Game 6 of the NBA Finals — but it was clear the thumb wasn’t right.
