Kyle Lowry Returns To Lineup, Records Double-Double
Kyle Lowry (thumb) made his return to the Raptors starting lineup after an 11-game absence due to a fractured thumb, posting his first double-double of the season in the 121-110 overtime loss to the Heat. The 33-year-old was noticeably shaking off the rust in his first game action since Nov. 8, going 2-for-18 from the field and 0-for-11 from three-point range in 40 minutes of action. Lowry looked increasingly comfortable as the game went on, getting to the line and finishing with a perfect 8-for-8 mark from the stripe, going along with his season-high 11 assists. There will not be many nights where the veteran point guard shoots this poorly from the field, and fantasy owners should continue to start Lowry for his elite production in the assists and three-point shooting categories.

Kyle Lowry Active Against Heat
Kyle Lowry (hip) will be active for Monday's matchup against the Miami Heat. The veteran floor general, who recently turned 39, will make only his second appearance since Feb. 9. Lowry has been managing a right hip injury for several weeks. When he returned from a 23-game absence last Tuesday against the New York Knicks, Lowry finished scoreless across 16 minutes of action, dishing out two assists while picking up two steals and one block. His role is expected to remain minimal on Monday evening.

Kyle Lowry Picks Up A Questionable Tag
Kyle Lowry (hip) may return to the lineup on Tuesday against the New York Knicks, as the team has upgraded him to questionable. The veteran guard has missed nearly two months of action while managing a hip injury. This season, Lowry has suited up for only 33 games with the 76ers, averaging 4.0 points, 2.0 rebounds, and 2.8 assists in 18.9 minutes. Even if he returns from his extended absence, Lowry is not expected to be a big piece in the rotation

Kyle Lowry Still Out On Monday
Kyle Lowry (hip) will not be in the lineup on Monday against the Houston Rockets. Lowry hasn't been in action since Feb. 9 due to a right hip injury, and it's unclear when he will be available again. With the team out of playoff contention, it would not be surprising if the veteran floor general sat out the rest of the campaign. Philadelphia is also without the services of starting point guard Tyrese Maxey (back, finger), giving Jared Butler and Jeff Dowtin Jr. a chance to shine in larger roles.

Kyle Lowry To Remain Out On Saturday
Kyle Lowry (hip) will not be available for Saturday's clash against the Brooklyn Nets. The veteran playmaker has been ruled out for a fourth consecutive game. A couple of weeks ago, Lowry landed on the shelf due to an issue with his right hip. Tyrese Maxey should again eat up all the minutes he can handle at the point guard position, with Jared Butler providing cover off the bench. Since arriving from the Washington Wizards, Butler has averaged 7.5 points and 3.5 assists in 13.8 minutes. However, he logged only four minutes in Thursday's loss to the Boston Celtics.
