Kyle Lowry Sidelined On Monday

According to Adam Aaronson of PhillyVoice.com, Philadelphia 76ers guard Kyle Lowry (hip) won't play against the Suns on Monday due to a hip injury.

Orlando Magic guard Gary Harris (hamstring) will miss a third consecutive game on Monday after being ruled out for the contest against the New York Knicks.
