Raptors GM Bryan Colangelo said he wasn't sure if Kyle Lowry was ever fully healthy this season.
Lowry has developed a reputation as a bulldog, but it's always some kind of nagging injury that holds him back during the season, and that was especially true after he had offseason surgery before debuting in Toronto. He dealt with a few different things this season and wound up playing in 68 games. Colangelo also revealed that the two sides aren't having any conversations regarding a contract extension at this time. Apr 22 - 11:40 AM

Kyle Lowry shot 2-of-10 from the field for seven points with nine boards and six assists in 37 minutes against the Nets on Sunday.

It hasn't been pretty for Lowry and since the All-Star break he's averaged 10 points, five boards, seven assists and 1.3 triples on 39 percent shooting. He should have every opportunity to redeem himself with the Raptors having a team option for next season.
Apr 14 - 8:43 PM

Dwane Casey has begun letting Kyle Lowry call the offense on about 40 percent of the Raptors' sets, and Casey is happy with the results.

"I'm not looking to shoot as much," said Lowry, whose assists have increased. "Of course I believe I can score the ball if I shoot more but [Rudy Gay and DeMar DeRozan] are the scorers ... [But] I will sacrifice to win games." K-Low's team-first attitude is refreshing, even if he's averaging just 10.3 points in April. With a $6.2 million team option for next season, it's very likely that he'll remain with the Raptors this summer.

Kyle Lowry just missed a triple-double in Friday's 97-88 win over the Bulls with 13 points, nine boards and 11 assists in 36 minutes.

He hasn't really been making a ton of headlines, but he can do it all as evident by tonight's performance. His owners probably aren't pleased with him not cracking the top 100 in standard leagues over the past month and he could be a bargain next year. Rudy Gay (23 points, five steals, three blocks and one 3-pointer) was great while DeMar DeRozan was solid with 19 points.
Apr 12 - 10:51 PM

Kyle Lowry hit 6-of-11 shots and a 3-pointer for 13 points, three rebounds, 10 assists and two steals in Tuesday's win over the Bulls.

Lowry has double-doubled in two of his last four games, and while he's still not the offensive dynamo owners were hoping for, he is still helping fantasy owners when he plays like this.
Apr 10 - 12:14 AM

Kyle Lowry hit just 2-of-8 shots in the Raptors' 88-78 win over the Wizards on Wednesday, but still piled up nine points, eight rebounds and 13 assists.

Lowry's strange fantasy season took a turn up tonight, though it would still be nice if the Raps looked to him to score more. He should be in all lineups. DeMar DeRozan scored 25 points with a steal and block in the win.
Apr 3 - 9:55 PM

Kyle Lowry bounced back after two disastrous games, scoring 15 points with three 3-pointers, three rebounds, seven assists and one block in Sunday's loss the Wizards.

Lowry is making 38.5 percent of his 7.8 shots per game in March (John Wall basically dared him to shoot jumpers tonight) and the result has been a lousy 8.6 points per game. All is not well for his fantasy owners, but at least he's been adding 1.1 triples, 5.4 boards, 6.3 assists and 1.7 steals.
Mar 31 - 9:08 PM

Kyle Lowry scored four points on 2-of-4 shooting with two rebounds, 11 assists and two steals in the Raptors' win over the Pistons on Friday.

We didn't hear anything about Lowry's sore knee tonight, and owners can continue using him as they normally would.
Mar 29 - 11:46 PM

Kyle Lowry played through a sore knee on Wednesday against the Hawks and while he only scored three points on 1-of-5 shooting, he also had seven rebounds, 10 assists and a steal in 34 minutes.

Lowry's had a very strange season, but is at least playing while dinged up. Keep an eye out for news on his knee going forward.
Mar 27 - 10:53 PM

Kyle Lowry (knee) is in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Hawks.

Lowry's status became unclear when his knee was described as "nicked," but it could just be the results of the wear and tear of a long season on an oft-injured point guard. Owners should feel safe to use Lowry as they normally would.
Mar 27 - 6:32 PM

Kyle Lowry's knee is reportedly "nicked," and his status for Wednesday's game against the Hawks is unclear.

This is the first we've heard of a knee injury for Lowry, but it makes sense for the point guard who is oft-injured and isn't exactly the most durable player in the league. If he is forced to miss time, Sebastian Telfair and John Lucas III would be pressed into extended point guard duties.

Mar 25 - 9:29 AM

Kyle Lowry scored nine points in Friday's loss to the Knicks, adding one board, 10 assists, two steals and three 3-pointers in 35 minutes.

The scoring hasn't really been there for Lowry almost all year, but he's filling up the stat sheet with dimes, steals and threes. Rudy Gay missing time figures to help Lowry's offensive numbers, so keep him active in all leagues.
Mar 22 - 10:02 PM

Kyle Lowry bounced back from a zero-point game against the Heat with 18 points, seven boards, five assists, a steal, a block and a 3-pointer on 6-of-13 shooting.

That's more like it, as he had really been struggling over his last three games. It's possible he was benched on a busy night with so many options, but he's good enough to break out of a funk at any time, and it happened tonight.
Mar 20 - 9:52 PM

Kyle Lowry bottomed out with zero points on 0-of-7 shooting vs. the Heat, while grabbing four rebounds and handing out three assists in 29 minutes.

Yuck. It's discouraging that Lowry is shooting below 40 percent in March, but it's even worse that he's attempting only 7.4 shots per game. He also hasn't cracked 30 minutes in the past three games, but owners have no choice but to start him and hope he snaps out of his lull.
Mar 17 - 4:03 PM

Kyle Lowry played 27 foul-plagued minutes on Friday, scoring seven points on 3-of-10 shooting (including a three) with six rebounds, two assists and two steals.

Lowry can't blame the foul trouble on Rudy Gay and he saw a little bit of extra time on the pine because Sebastian Telfair (11 points, five assists, 21 minutes) was productive before getting a bit too offensive-minded. We don't expect a timeshare to start brewing unless Lowry goes over the deep end, which isn't really to be expected at this point in time.
