Kyle Lowry Injury News & Updates
Keep up with the latest injuries from the Wizards vs 76ers game today with our National Basketball Association injury report.Oct 23, 2025
Sits out season opener
Lowry didn't play in Wednesday's 117-116 win over Boston.
ANALYSIS
The absence of Jared McCain (thumb) wasn't enough to get Lowry in the Opening Night rotation. The bulk of Philadelphia's backcourt reps should go to Tyrese Maxey, VJ Edgecombe and Quentin Grimes moving forward.
Oct 20, 2025
Goes through practice
Lowry (rest) was back at practice Monday, Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
ANALYSIS
After sitting out the preseason finale against Minnesota on Friday, Lowry was back on the floor with no restrictions Monday. He's expected to be the backup point guard when the 76ers open their season against Boston on Wednesday.
Oct 17, 2025
Another rest day on tap
Lowry (rest) is out for Friday's preseason finale against Minnesota, Austin Krell of OnPattison.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The veteran guard will get a fourth consecutive night off Friday. Lowry does not appear to be dealing with an injury, so he should be available off the bench in Wednesday's season opener against the Celtics.
Oct 10, 2025
Out again Friday
Lowry (rest) will not play in Friday's preseason game against Orlando, Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
ANALYSIS
Lowry will sit out a third straight game during the preseason. The veteran's next chance to play comes Oct. 17 against the Timberwolves.
Oct 4, 2025
Won't play Saturday
Lowry (rest) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Knicks, Adam Aaronson of PhillyVoice.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Lowry will sit out a second straight game during the preseason. His absence doesn't appear to be injury-related, but rather for rest purposes. The next opportunity for him to get back on the floor will be Oct. 10 against the Magic.
Oct 3, 2025
Sits out Thursday
Lowry (coach's decision) did not play in Thursday's preseason game versus the Knicks.
ANALYSIS
Veterans are often used sparingly in the preseason, and there's no injury to report here. Lowry agreed to a one-year, $3.63 million deal over the summer in what's expected to be the final year of his career. Heading into Opening Night, Lowry is presumably the favorite to win the backup role behind Tyrese Maxey.
Jul 7, 2025
Agrees to sign with 76ers
Lowry has agreed to sign a one-year, $3.6 million contract with the 76ers, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Lowry is set to return to Philadelphia to play his third season with the 76ers. The veteran floor general was limited to 35 games last year, having averaged a career-low 3.9 points, 2.7 assists and 1.9 rebounds in 18.8 minutes per contest. With Jared McCain (knee) still recovering from a torn meniscus, it's possible Lowry will open the new campaign as Tyrese Maxey's top backup at point guard.
Apr 12, 2025
Will miss final game of season
Lowry (hip) is out for Sunday's game against the Bulls.
ANALYSIS
Lowry will end the regular season on the sidelines, though that's not surprising, as the veteran floor general was limited to just 35 appearances and 12 starts in 2024-25 due to several injuries. In those games, Lowry averaged a mere 3.9 points, 2.7 assists and 1.9 rebounds per game while logging just 18.8 minutes per contest -- his lowest mark since his rookie year.
Apr 10, 2025
Still out for Friday
Lowry (hip) won't play in Friday's game versus the Hawks.
ANALYSIS
Lowry will miss his second straight contest Friday due to right hip injury management. In his absence, Jared Butler and Jeff Dowtin should continue to receive increased playing time. Lowry's final chance to suit up this season is Sunday's matchup with Chicago.
Apr 8, 2025
Not playing Wednesday
Lowry is out for Wednesday's game against the Wizards due to right hip injury management.
ANALYSIS
Lowry played Monday against the Heat on April 7, logging 20 minutes and putting up five points, one rebound and one assist. The veteran floor general has been limited to just two outings since the beginning of March. His next chance to play will come against the Hawks on Friday.
Apr 7, 2025
Good to go Monday
Lowry (hip) is available for Monday's game against the Heat, Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
ANALYSIS
Lowry will return to action following a two-game absence due to right hip injury management. The veteran point guard has made only one appearances since the All-Star break, posting zero points (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt), two assists, two steals, one rebound and one block across 16 minutes during last Tuesday's loss to the Knicks.
Apr 6, 2025
Questionable for Monday
Lowry (hip) has been listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Heat, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Lowry is in danger of missing a third straight game for the 76ers while nursing a hip injury. If he cannot play in Miami, the next chance for the veteran guard to return to the floor will be Wednesday against the Wizards.
Apr 4, 2025
Out Saturday
Lowry (hip) is out for Saturday's game against the Timberwolves.
ANALYSIS
The veteran floor general logged 16 minutes off the bench in a 105-91 loss to the Knicks on April 1, but that has been his lone appearance since the All-Star break, and just his fifth since the beginning of February. Even if deemed healthy, don't expect Lowry to make an impact in most fantasy formats in the final days of the regular season. His next chance to play will come Monday against the Heat.
Apr 2, 2025
Wont' play vs. Milwaukee
Lowry (hip) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Bucks, Adam Aaronson of PhillyVoice.com reports.
ANALYSIS

Apr 2, 2025
Fails to score in return
Lowry supplied zero points (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt), one rebound, two assists, one block and two steals over 16 minutes during Tuesday's 105-91 loss to New York.
ANALYSIS
Lowry came off the bench as he returned to action after missing 23 straight games due to a hip issue. While it is good to see the veteran back on the court, the decision to bring him back given there is nothing to play for is somewhat baffling. Lowry's days of being a meaningful contributor have come and gone, making his long-term future clouded, at best.
Apr 1, 2025
Coming off bench in return
Lowry (hip) is available but not in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game versus the Knicks, Noah Levick of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.
ANALYSIS

Mar 31, 2025
Upgraded to questionable
Lowry (hip) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Knicks.
ANALYSIS
Lowry hasn't played since Feb. 9 due to a right hip injury, but he's now considered day-to-day. If the veteran does get the green light to return, he's likely to have heavy restrictions after such a long absence.
Mar 28, 2025
Still without return date
Lowry (hip) remains without an official timetable to return, Ky Carlin of USA Today reports.
ANALYSIS
Lowry was a partial participant at Friday's practice, but he's missed the past 20 games for the 76ers and the team is not in a hurry to rush the veteran back. For now, it's safe to rule him out of the back-to-back set that begins March 29.
Mar 26, 2025
Could return soon
76ers head coach Nick Nurse gave an update on Lowry's status Wednesday, saying the veteran guard could return soon, Adam Aaronson of PhillyVoice.com reports.

Mar 17, 2025

ANALYSIS

Absent from practice Friday
Lowry (hip) didn't participate in Friday's practice, Kyle Neubeck of AllPHLY.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Lowry has missed the club's last six outings due to a right hip injury, and his absence from practice does not bode well for his potential return in Saturday's game against Golden State.

Feb 18, 2025
Doesn't practice Tuesday
Lowry (hip) didn't practice Tuesday and his availability for Thursday's game against the Celtics is in question, Ky Carlin of USA Today reports.
ANALYSIS

Feb 12, 2025
Out again Wednesday
Lowry (hip) will not play Wednesday against the Nets.
ANALYSIS

Feb 10, 2025
Won't play Tuesday
Lowry (hip) will not play Tuesday against the Raptors.
ANALYSIS
Lowry did not practice Monday and will be held out for the first leg of this back-to-back set as he continues to manage soreness in his right hip. Jared Butler, who recently joined the 76ers, could potentially see some minutes off the bench with this news.
Feb 5, 2025
Good to go Wednesday
Lowry (hip) is available for Wednesday's game against the Heat, Kyle Neubeck of AllPHLY.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Lowry missed Tuesday's game against Dallas with a hip injury, but he'll be available Wednesday to handle his usual role off Philadelphia's bench as the top backup point guard behind Tyrese Maxey. Across his last five games, Lowry has averaged 4.8 points, 3.4 assists, 2.8 rebounds and 1.2 steals in 18.3 minutes.
Feb 5, 2025
Questionable for Wednesday

Feb 4, 2025
Ruled out Tuesday
Lowry (hip) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Mavericks, Noah Levick of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.
ANALYSIS
Lowry has been back in the lineup for the 76ers for the last five games, but he will miss Tuesday's matchup against Dallas. However, the veteran guard hasn't made much of an impact while on the floor for the 76ers this season, meaning he hasn't been a factor from a fantasy perspective.
Feb 4, 2025
Downgraded to questionable
Lowry is questionable for Tuesday's game versus Dallas with right hip soreness.
ANALYSIS
Lowry was a very late addition to the injury report and that's usually a bad sign. Tuesday's game is the front end of a back-to-back set, so a maintenance day could be on the table for the veteran guard.
Jan 29, 2025
Hands out season-high eight assists
Lowry provided 13 points (3-5 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), five rebounds and eight assists across 26 minutes during Wednesday's 117-104 win over Sacramento.
ANALYSIS
It was arguably Lowry's best effort of the season thus far, as he handed out a season-high eight assists off Philadelphia's bench and fell a lone point shy of his season-high mark set way back during the Oct. 25 loss to Toronto. Lowry recently had a 10-game absence due to a hip injury, so it was encouraging to see him log his most minutes (26) in three contests since returning. The 38-year-old's fantasy upside remains limited at this stage of his career, but he could emerge as a key contributor from the second unit for the injury-riddled 76ers down the stretch of the season.
Jan 26, 2025
Gets 15 minutes in return
Lowry (hip) tallied two points (1-4 FG, 0-3 3Pt), two assists, one rebound, one steal and one block in 15 minutes off the bench in Saturday's 109-97 win over the Bulls.
ANALYSIS
The banged-up 76ers were without six players due to injury, but Lowry's return from a 10-game absence due to a right hip sprain at least helped restore a little bit of depth in the backcourt. The six-time All-Star should continue to maintain a spot in the Philadelphia rotation but doesn't offer much fantasy appeal at this stage of his career. Over 26 appearances (12 starts) this season, Lowry is averaging 4.1 points, 2.7 assists, 1.8 rebounds and 1.0 steals in 19.7 minutes while shooting just 35.2 percent from the field.
Jan 25, 2025
Good to go against Chicago
Lowry (hip) isn't on the injury report for Saturday's game versus the Bulls.
ANALYSIS
Lowry has missed Philadelphia's previous 10 contests due to a right hip injury but appears set to return to action Saturday. While the veteran guard's return should result in decreased playing time for Eric Gordon, it wouldn't be surprising for Lowry to operate on a minutes restriction as he works his way back into game shape.
Jan 23, 2025
Ruled out Friday
Lowry (hip) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Cavaliers.
ANALYSIS
Lowry will miss his 10th straight game for the 76ers as he deals with a right hip sprain. The veteran guard has been in and out of the lineup all season long for Philadelphia, playing only 25 games during the 2024-25 campaign thus far and making little impact when healthy and on the floor, averaging a career-low 4.2 points, 1.8 rebounds and 2.7 assists per game.
Jan 23, 2025
Limited in practice
Lowry (hip) was a partial participant in Thursday's practice, Adam Aaronson of PhillyVoice.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Lowry hasn't played since Jan. 4 due to a right hip strain. Even though the veteran guard was limited in practice, it is still a good sign he is nearing a return to action.
Jan 20, 2025
Out again Tuesday
Lowry (hip) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Nuggets.
ANALYSIS
Lowry will now miss nine straight games due to injury. With Lowry sidelined, Reggie Jackson will likely continue to see extended playing time.
Jan 19, 2025
Ruled out Sunday
Lowry (hip) will not play Sunday against the Bucks.
ANALYSIS
Lowry will be sidelined for an eighth straight game and does not have a target date for a return. His next chance to play comes Tuesday against Denver.
Jan 17, 2025
Another absence coming
Lowry (hip) won't play in Saturday's game versus the Pacers.
ANALYSIS
Lowry's absence streak will extend to seven games Saturday due to a strained right groin. Sunday's matchup with Milwaukee is the veteran guard's next chance to suit up.
Jan 17, 2025
Still absent from practice
Lowry (hip) didn't participate in Friday's practice, Austin Krell of OnPattison.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Lowry has missed Philadelphia's previous six contests due to a right hip strain. The veteran guard's absence from practice indicates that he is unlikely to return to action for Saturday's matchup with Indiana.
Jan 15, 2025
Remains out for Wednesday
Lowry (hip) will not play Wednesday against the Knicks.
ANALYSIS
Lowry will miss his sixth game in a row Wednesday and does not have a timetable for a return. His next chance to play will be Saturday against the Pacers.
Jan 13, 2025
Not playing Tuesday vs. OKC
Lowry (hip) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Thunder, Adam Aaronson of PhillyVoice.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Lowry will miss a fifth straight game due to a right hip sprain, and there's no clear timeline for his return. It doesn't appear likely that the veteran guard will be available for Wednesday's game against the Knicks.
Jan 10, 2025
Return timetable unclear
Coach Nick Nurse said Friday that there's no timeline for Lowry's (hip) return but he will likely be out longer than day-to-day, Austin Krell of USA Today reports.
ANALYSIS
Lowry has already been ruled out for Friday's contest versus the Pelicans due to right hip soreness, marking his third straight absence. While Lowry is starting more aggressive treatment, the veteran point guard will likely be sidelined for at least a few more games. Until he is able to return to action, Kelly Oubre and Eric Gordon should continue to receive increased playing time.
Jan 9, 2025
Remaining sidelined Friday
Lowry (hip) won't play in Friday's game versus the Pelicans.
ANALYSIS
Lowry's absence streak will extend to three games Friday due to a right hip soreness. The veteran guard's next chance to suit up is Sunday's matchup with Orlando.
Jan 9, 2025
Absent from practice
Lowry (hip) didn't participate in Thursday's practice, Adam Aaronson of PhillyVoice.com reports.
ANALYSIS

Jan 7, 2025
Out with hip soreness
Lowry (hip) is out for Wednesday's game against the Wizards.
ANALYSIS
After missing Monday's game against the Suns, Lowry will take a seat due to right hip soreness once again. The veteran guard should be deemed day-to-day ahead of Friday's tilt with the Pelicans. In Lowry's absence, fantasy managers can expect the 76ers to give Tyrese Maxey all the minutes he can handle, and Reggie Jackson should handle the backup point guard role against the Wizards.
Jan 6, 2025
Won't play Monday
Lowry (hip) is out for Monday's game against the Suns, Adam Aaronson of PhillyVoice.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Lowry will sit out due to a hip injury Monday, and his next chance to return to action comes Wednesday against the Wizards. In the veteran guard's absence, fantasy managers can expect the 76ers to lean on Tyrese Maxey in the first unit, while Reggie Jackson figures to handle the backup point guard role against the Suns.
Jan 5, 2025
Questionable for Monday
Lowry (hip) is questionable for Monday's game against the Suns.
ANALYSIS
Lowry continues to manage lingering hip soreness. He's appeared in 12 of Philly's last 15 games, averaging 15.3 minutes during that stretch.
Jan 4, 2025
Not starting Saturday
Lowry is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Nets
ANALYSIS
Lowry will return to the bench for this matchup, as the Sixers will be tweaking their lineup once again. Guerschon Yabusele will start at power forward, meaning they'll go with a relatively big lineup featuring Paul George at shooting guard and Caleb Martin at small forward.
Jan 1, 2025
Active and starting
Lowry (hip) is part of the 76ers' starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Kings.
ANALYSIS
Lowry will return from a one-game absence due to hip soreness and will fill in for Kelly Oubre (hand) alongside Tyrese Maxey in the backcourt. In 10 starts this season, Lowry has averaged 5.4 points, 2.7 assists, 2.1 rebounds and 1.4 steals across 24.2 minutes.
Dec 31, 2024
Questionable for Wednesday

Dec 30, 2024
Won't go Monday
Lowry (hip) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Trail Blazers, independent journalist Jacob Moreno reports.
ANALYSIS
Lowry will miss Monday's clash due to a right hip injury. Look for Reggie Jackson to see more opportunities in the backcourt in Lowry's absence.
Dec 30, 2024
Iffy against Portland
Lowry is questionable for Monday's game against Portland with a right hip strain.
ANALYSIS
Lowry was a late addition to the injury report. For what it's worth, the veteran guard missed five games at the end of November with a right hip injury. If he's unable to go, Reggie Jackson could find himself with a few extra minutes.
Dec 21, 2024
Struggles again in win
Lowry finished with one rebound, one assist and one steal over 12 minutes during Friday's 108-98 win over the Hornets.
ANALYSIS
Lowry continues his downward slide, failing to score for the sixth time this season. Now aged 38, it is clear Lowry can no longer be viewed as a consistent contributor. In 18 games, he is averaging just 4.8 points, 2.7 assists and 1.1 steals in 21.1 minutes per game.
Dec 15, 2024
Not on injury report
Lowry (back) isn't listed on the injury report for Monday's game against the Hornets.
ANALYSIS
Lowry was a late scratch Friday against the Pacers due to back spasms, but the veteran should return to action Monday. With Jared McCain (knee) out for the season, Lowry's role could increase again. He averaged 24.2 minutes per game across the first 13 games this season but hasn't played more than 13 minutes in a game since Nov. 18.
Dec 13, 2024
Won't play Friday
Lowry (back) is out for Friday's game versus the Pacers, Adam Aaronson of PhillyVoice.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Shortly after being added to the injury report due to lower back spasms, Lowry has now been ruled out Friday. The veteran guard's next chance to suit up is Monday's matchup with Charlotte.
Dec 13, 2024
Late addition to injury report
Lowry is listed as questionable for Friday'sg game versus the Pacers due to lower back spasms.
ANALYSIS
While Donovan said that Craig has dealt with his allergic reaction before and is fine, it appears that the veteran forward will be held out of Friday's contest for precautionary reasons. Even while available, Craig hadn't appeared in Chicago's last four outings.
Dec 5, 2024
Good to go Friday
Lowry (hip) has been removed from the injury report for Friday's game against Orlando.
ANALYSIS
Lowry has missed six out of the last seven games due to his hip injury, but will make his return Friday. Through 14 games this season, he is averaging 5.8 points, 3.1 assists, 2.3 rebounds, 1.1 steals and 0.4 blocks across 23.4 minutes.
Dec 4, 2024
Won't play Wednesday
Lowry (rest) will not play Wednesday against the Magic.
ANALYSIS
After playing 13 minutes in his return to action Tuesday against the Hornets, Lowry will be held out for injury maintenance Wednesday. Look for the veteran to be back in action for Friday's rematch against Orlando. Reggie Jackson could pick up the backup point guard minutes in the meantime.
Dec 3, 2024
Handles light role in return
Lowry (hip) played 13 minutes and finished with zero points (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt) and three rebounds in Tuesday's 110-104 win over the Hornets.
ANALYSIS
Lowry made his return to action after missing the 76ers' previous five games with a right hip strain. The 38-year-old had started in each of his prior five appearances before suffering the injury, but he looks poised to handle a regular bench role moving forward with Tyrese Maxey back healthy again after missing six games in November with a hamstring strain. With rookie Jared McCain having emerged as the 76ers' lead guard off the bench, Lowry may be hard pressed to earn much more than 15-to-20 minutes per game even once he's further removed from the hip injury.
Dec 3, 2024
Available Tuesday
Lowry (hip) is available for Tuesday's game against the Hornets.
ANALYSIS
Lowry hasn't played since Nov. 18 due to a right hip strain, but he'll suit up for this contest and will presumably deliver minutes off the bench. However, he'll have a limited role and isn't expected to see a lot of action.
Dec 2, 2024
Expected to suit up Tuesday
Lowry (hip) is probable for Tuesday's game against the Hornets.
ANALYSIS
Lowry hasn't played since Nov. 18 due to a right hip strain. Even if he's cleared to play, the veteran will likely have a limited role, as Tyrese Maxey and rookie Jared McCain have emerged as the leaders of Philly's backcourt.
Nov 29, 2024
Remains out Friday
Lowry (hip) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Pistons, Adam Aaronson of PhillyVoice.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Lowry will miss his fifth consecutive game due to a right hip strain. With the veteran point guard sidelined, Jared McCain should continue starting with Ricky Council and Reggie Jackson likely seeing an uptick in playing time off the bench. Lowry's next chance to play will come Tuesday against the Hornets.
Nov 26, 2024
Ruled out for Wednesday
Lowry (hip) will not play Wednesday against Houston, Paul Hudrick of Liberty Ballers reports.
ANALYSIS
Lowry was unable to practice Tuesday and will be sidelined for a fourth straight game. He was scheduled to be re-evaluated at some point this week, but there's been no clarity on his injury just yet. His next chance to play will be Saturday against Detroit.
Nov 19, 2024
Out for next three games
The 76ers announced Tuesday that Lowry has a right hip strain and will miss the team's next three games, Tony Jones of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Lowry appears to have suffered his injury against Miami and is due for re-evaluation early next week. With Tyrse Maxey (hamstring) nearing a return to action, Jared McCain, Jeff Dowtin, Eric Gordon and Reggie Jackson are candidates to receive increased playing time in Lowry's absence.
Nov 19, 2024
Scoreless in 19 minutes
Lowry ended Monday's 106-89 loss to the Heat with zero points (0-3 FG, 0-3 3Pt), one rebound, one assist and one steal in 19 minutes.
ANALYSIS
This was Lowry's second scoreless dud in his last four outings, all of which have been losses for the 76ers. He's looked a step slow in recent games, and he's been unable to take advantage of his opportunities with Tyrese Maxey (hamstring) on the shelf.
Nov 9, 2024
Quiet in Friday's start
Lowry closed with five points (1-7 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, six assists and one block across 32 minutes during Friday's 116-106 loss to the Lakers.
ANALYSIS
With Tyrese Maxey (hamstring) sidelined, Lowry made his fifth start of the season and saw a season-high in minutes. The increased workload didn't lead to increased production, however. The 38-year-old point guard is no longer the scoring threat he was in his Raptors heyday, but Lowry's assists, threes and steals might provide some deep-league fantasy value while he's in an elevated role.
Nov 7, 2024
To fill in at point guard
Lowry is expected to start at point guard while Tyrese Maxey (hamstring) recovers from injury, Adam Aaronson of PhillyVoice.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Lowry was the likely candidate to enter the starting lineup in Maxey's place, but it's still nice to hear confirmation from head coach Nick Nurse. Lowry has already made four starts this season, averaging 8.3 points, 2.0 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 2.0 steals in 21.8 minutes. Nurse also noted that Reggie Jackson would work as the backup to Lowry, while Jeff Dowtin could also factor into the rotation in the backcourt.
Nov 5, 2024
Plays well off bench
Lowry finished Monday's 118-116 loss to the Suns with 13 points (5-8 FG, 3-6 3Pt), two rebounds, seven assists, one block and one steal in 28 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Lowry moved to a reserve role Monday with Paul George (knee) making his 2024-25 regular-season debut. However, he was still able to make a solid impact, and that may continue to be the case while Joel Embiid (knee) and his massive usage rate are on the shelf.
Nov 4, 2024
Reverts to bench Monday
Lowry is not in the 76ers' starting lineup for Monday's game against the Suns, Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
ANALYSIS
Lowry has been in the starting lineup in each of the last four games, but he will revert to a reserve role Monday as Paul George (knee) makes his 2024-25 regular-season debut. Through the first five games of the campaign, Lowry is averaging 9.2 points, 2.6 assists, 2.4 rebounds and 1.6 steals over 22.2 minutes per game.
Nov 3, 2024
Scores in double figures
Lowry produced 10 points (3-4 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds, one assist and two steals in 21 minutes during Saturday's 124-107 loss to the Grizzlies.
ANALYSIS
Lowry was one of three Philly starters to finish in double figures, and he did so by attempting only four shots from the field. This has been the norm so far this year for the veteran guard, who's averaging 4.6 field-goal attempts over five appearances. Lowry is unlikely to light up the scoreboard for fantasy managers this year, but he's made the most of his chances, averaging 9.2 points, 2.4 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 1.6 steals in 22.2 minutes.
Oct 26, 2024
Decent output Friday
Lowry totaled 14 points (3-5 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 5-5 FT), one rebound, two assists and three steals over 29 minutes during Friday's 115-107 loss to the Raptors.
ANALYSIS
Lowry started for the first time this season, and coincidentally, he did it against the Raptors, the franchise in which he played for nine seasons between 2012 and 2020. The veteran floor general was efficient, and he probably did enough to remain in the starting lineup for the time being -- at least until Joel Embiid (knee) and Paul George (knee) are back in the mix.
Oct 25, 2024
Moves into starting lineup
Lowry will start Friday's game against the Raptors, Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reports.
ANALYSIS
After a disappointing performance against the Bucks, coach Nick Nurse has removed Eric Gordon and KJ Martin from the starting lineup and replaced them with Lowry and Caleb Martin. Lowry posted 13 points (4-7 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 2-4 FT), six assists and four rebounds in 24 minutes off the bench during Wednesday's 124-109 loss to Milwaukee.
Oct 19, 2024
Woeful performance Friday
Lowry scored two points (0-6 FG, 0-3 3PT, 2-3 FT), three rebounds, two assists and one steal in 20 minutes during Friday's preseason loss to Orlando.
ANALYSIS
Lowry struggled again Friday, continuing his rough preseason. At this point, Lowry could very well be a spent force, making him a non-factor in the majority of fantasy leagues. Barring a miracle, there is no reason to consider drafting him outside of very deep formats.
Oct 18, 2024
Sits out Friday
Lowry (rest) did not play in Friday's preseason finale in Orlando.
ANALYSIS
Lowry's absence marks his second game a row on the sideline. The veteran point guard is presumably being rested by the 76ers in order to ensure his stamina for the start of the season.
Oct 16, 2024
Resting Wednesday
Lowry is the healthy scratch for Wednesday's preseason contest against Brooklyn, Ky Carlin of USA Today reports.
ANALYSIS
Lowry joins Paul George (knee) and Joel Embiid (knee) on the sidelines for Wednesday's contest. His next opportunity for preseason action comes Friday against Orlando.
Jul 11, 2024
Agrees to one-year deal with 76ers
Lowry has agreed to return to the 76ers on a one-year deal, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
The 38-year-old veteran and Philly native will again be helping back up Tyrese Maxey for the 76ers this upcoming season. He may be able to provide some low-end value as an assist specialist in 16-team leagues, but he's well past his days of relevancy in standard, 12-team settings.
Apr 21, 2024
Vintage performance
Lowry finished Saturday's 111-104 loss to New York in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Quarterfinals with 18 points (5-9 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal across 39 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Lowry's hot shooting fueled a 15-2 run in the third quarter to put Philadelphia in front. He was one of just three 76ers to exceed 10 points Saturday, joining Tyrese Maxey (33 points) and Joel Embiid (29 points) in catalyzing the offense. Lowry's signature defensive peskiness was also on display, and the veteran profiles as a swing factor in the series given his strong play, huge minute share and experience as a two-way synergistic piece in the playoffs historically.
Apr 12, 2024
Available Friday
Lowry (knee) is available for Friday's game against the Magic, Gina Mizell of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
ANALYSIS
Lowry will return to action following a two-game absence due to left knee soreness. Over his last seven appearances, the veteran guard has averaged 9.1 points, 4.0 assists and 2.0 rebounds in 28.4 minutes per game.
Apr 11, 2024
Questionable for Friday
Lowry (knee) is questionable for Friday's game against the Magic.
ANALYSIS
Lowry has missed the last two games due to a sore left knee, and it's unclear whether he'll be available for Friday's matchup. If he's sidelined once again, Buddy Hield and Cameron Payne could see additional playing time.
Apr 9, 2024
Won't play Tuesday
Lowry (knee) is out for Tuesday's game versus the Pistons, Kyle Neubeck of AllPHLY.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Lowry will miss his second straight game Tuesday after being downgraded from questionable to out with left knee soreness. Buddy Hield and Cameron Payne will likely receive increased playing time with Tyrese Maxey (hip) also out.
Apr 8, 2024
Questionable against Detroit
Lowry is questionable for Tuesday's game against Detroit due to a left knee effusion.
ANALYSIS
Lowry sat out Sunday's game against San Antonio due to rest purposes, and his status for Tuesday's game is up in the air due to his knee injury. However, it wouldn't be surprising to see him return to action. Over his last seven appearances, he's averaged 9.1 points and 4.0 assists in 28.4 minutes per game.
Apr 7, 2024
Out Sunday
Lowry has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Spurs due to rest purposes.
ANALYSIS
Lowry will take the second night of Philadelphia's back-to-back set off after posting eight points in 21 minutes during Saturday's win over the Grizzlies. Joel Embiid (rest) is also out, while Tyrese Maxey (hip) and Tobias Harris (knee) are questionable. Lowry should return to action Tuesday versus the Pistons.
Apr 7, 2024
Rough night again Saturday
Lowry contributed eight points (3-4 FG, 2-3 3Pt), one rebound, one assist and one block in 21 minutes during Saturday's 116-96 victory over the Grizzlies.
ANALYSIS
Lowry was invisible in the win, continuing his rough season. Despite moving to a more favorable location, Lowry's days of being a viable fantasy asset appear to be well behind him. At this point, he is not even on the radar as a potential streaming candidate.
Mar 31, 2024
Tallies double-double in victory
Lowry ended with 11 points (4-6 FG, 3-5 3Pt), 10 assists, two blocks, one rebound and one steal over 38 minutes in Sunday's 135-120 win over Toronto.
ANALYSIS
Lowry handed out a game-high-tying assist total while connecting on a trio of threes and ending as one of six 76ers players with a double-digit point total over a double-double performance. Lowry, who also recorded a pair of blocks defensively, set a new season high in assists, posting his second game of the year with 10 or more dimes. In both of those contests, Lowry has ended with a double-double. Lowry's pair of blocks matched a season-best mark, a total he has now ended with in four contests.
Mar 30, 2024
Bounces back Friday
Lowry recorded 23 points (7-12 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 5-5 FT), three rebounds and six assists in 32 minutes during Friday's 117-114 loss to the Cavaliers.
ANALYSIS
Lowry was coming off two subpar outings, as he couldn't surpass the seven-point mark in the losses to the Kings and Clippers earlier this week. However, the veteran floor general turned things around here and dazzled Friday, but he couldn't prevent the Sixers' third straight loss. Lowry is expected to remain in the starting lineup for the foreseeable future, though his numbers during the current month do not offer much promise. He's averaging 9.2 points, 4.6 assists, 2.9 rebounds and 0.9 steals across 29.6 minutes per game in 14 starts since the beginning of March.
Mar 26, 2024
Horrible outing in return to action
Lowry closed Monday's 108-96 loss to the Kings with three points (1-4 FG, 1-4 3Pt), two rebounds, one assist and one steal in 25 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Lowry sat out the front end of the back-to-back for rest purposed and returned to the staring lineup against the Kings. The veteran has had some productive evenings with his new team, but his age is obviously showing. He isn't able to sustain consistent shot volume and leaves most of the ball-handling to Tyrese Maxey. De'Anthony Melton's (back) return will almost certainly end Lowry's tenure with the first unit.
Mar 25, 2024
Absent from injury report
Lowry (rest) isn't on the injury report for Monday's game against the Kings.
ANALYSIS
Lowry sat out Sunday against the Clippers due to rest purposes, but he'll return to action for the second half of the back-to-back set. Over his last eight appearances, he's averaged 7.4 points, 4.3 assists and 3.0 rebounds in 28.9 minutes per game.
Mar 23, 2024
Out for rest Sunday
Lowry will not play in Sunday's game against the Clippers for rest purposes, Adam Aaronson of PhillyVoice.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Lowry's absence should open up extra playing time for the likes of Kelly Oubre, Buddy Hield and Cameron Payne. The veteran guard's next opportunity to suit up will come Monday against the Kings.
Mar 7, 2024
Good to go against New Orleans
Lowry (rest) isn't on the injury report for Friday's game versus the Pelicans.
ANALYSIS
Lowry is good to go Friday after sitting out Philadelphia's previous contest for rest purposes. With Tyrese Maxey (concussion) out, Lowry will likely replace Cameron Payne as the team's starting point guard against the Pelicans.
Mar 6, 2024
Ruled out for rest
Lowry will be rested for Wednesday's game against the Grizzlies.
ANALYSIS
Wednesday's game is the second leg of a back-to-back set, and Lowry logged 36 minutes Tuesday night. With the veteran guard getting the night off for rest and Tyrese Maxey (concussion) still sidelined, Cam Payne could see heavy minutes Wednesday night. Jeff Dowtin and Ricky Council are also candidates to be more involved, although Council never saw the floor Tuesday night while Dowtin played six minutes.
Mar 2, 2024
Efficient in spot start
Lowry contributed 15 points (5-9 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds and 10 assists over 36 minutes during Friday's 121-114 victory over the Hornets.
ANALYSIS
Lowry made his first start since Jan. 17, and first one since joining Philadelphia, and he looked absolutely impressive, posting a double-double and making a huge impact on both ends of the court. He's averaging 8.0 points, 5.5 assists and 3.5 rebounds per game since joining the 76ers, and it remains to be seen if he'll start against Dallas on Sunday considering how depleted the Sixers are in terms of depth.
Mar 1, 2024
Starting Friday
Lowry will start Friday's game against the Hornets, Austin Krell of USA Today reports.
ANALYSIS
With Kelly Oubre (shoulder) and KJ Martin (ankle) joining De'Anthony Melton (back), Robert Covington (knee) and Joel Embiid (knee) on the sidelines, Lowry and Mo Bamba will enter the starting lineup. They'll be flanked by Tyrese Maxey, Tobias Harris and Buddy Hield, sending Paul Reed to a bench role. Over his last three appearances (all off bench), Lowry has averaged 5.7 points, 4.0 assists, 2.7 rebounds and 1.3 steals in 23.0 minutes per game.
Feb 24, 2024
Good to go Sunday
Lowry (conditioning) isn't on the injury report for Sunday's game versus the Bucks.
ANALYSIS
Lowry will return to action Sunday after sitting out Philadelphia's previous contest due to returning to competitive conditioning. The veteran guard should compete with Cameron Payne for minutes in the 76ers' backcourt rotation off the bench.
Feb 23, 2024
Sitting out Friday
Lowry won't play in Friday's game versus the Cavaliers due while returning to competition condition.
ANALYSIS
Lowry recorded 11 points (5-7 FG, 1-2 3Pt), five assists and four rebounds in 25 minutes during his Philadelphia debut Thursday. Despite not suffering an injury, the veteran guard will be held out of the second leg of the team's back-to-back Friday. Lowry should be available for Sunday's matchup with Milwaukee.
Feb 21, 2024
Not listed on injury report
Lowry is not on the injury report for Thursday's game against the Knicks.
ANALYSIS
It appears Lowry is on track to make his Philly debut Thursday night, and it'll be interesting to see how he factors into the rotation. That said, we would recommend taking a wait-and-see approach with the 37-year-old point guard in most formats.
Feb 21, 2024
Goes through practice
Lowry went through a full practice Wednesday, Lauren Rosen of the 76ers' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Lowry was held out of Wednesday's game versus the Heat before the All-Star break as he ramped up his conditioning, but all signs point to him playing Thursday against the Knicks. It's likely that the veteran will take over the backup point guard duties from Cameron Payne.
Feb 13, 2024
Won't play against Miami
Lowry is continuing his return-to-play ramp-up and will play in Wednesday's game versus the Heat, Kyle Neubeck of AllPHLY.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Lowry will be available to make his 76ers debut after the All-Star Break. The veteran point guard made 37 appearances, including 35 starts, for the Heat before being traded to the Hornets for Terry Rozier. Lowry was then bought out by Charlotte and joined Philadelphia, where he is expected to compete for backup point guard minutes with Cameron Payne behind Tyrese Maxey.
Feb 13, 2024
Cleared for Wednesday
Lowry doesn't appear on the 76ers' injury report for Wednesday's game against the Heat.
ANALYSIS
Lowry reached a verbal agreement to join the 76ers over the weekend after he secured a buyout from the Hornets, but he had to wait until he formally cleared waivers Tuesday to finalize his one-year deal with Philadelphia. Given that he hasn't played since Jan. 21 -- when he was still a member with the Heat team that the 76ers will face Wednesday -- Lowry could require some more practice time with Philadelphia before head coach Nick Nurse incorporates him into the rotation. Lowry at least looks poised to dress for Wednesday's contest, but it's unclear whether he'll immediately supplant Cameron Payne as starting point guard Tyrese Maxey's top backup, or if Lowry will be available merely in an emergency.
Feb 10, 2024
Will join 76ers
Lowry was bought out by the Hornets on Saturday and will join the 76ers once he clears waivers, ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski reports.
ANALYSIS
Lowry has been linked to the 76ers many times during his career, but now he'll finally get the chance to play for his hometown team in his age-37 season. His deal is expected to be for $2.8 million for the remainder of the campaign. With the 76ers, Lowry is expected to soak up the backup point guard minutes behind Tyrese Maxey, but he could also play alongside him for stretches as well.
Feb 10, 2024
Still out
Lowry (not injury related) won't play in Saturday's game versus the Grizzlies.
ANALYSIS
Lowry has yet to play for the Hornets since being traded from Miami. However, with the trade deadline passed, it's unclear when or if Lowry will suit up for Charlotte.
Feb 9, 2024
Remains away from team
Lowry (not injury related) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Bucks.
ANALYSIS
Lowry was traded from Miami to Charlotte in late January, and Hornets general manager Mitch Kupchak said shortly after the deal that Lowry was unlikely to play for the team before the trade deadline. Lowry wasn't traded ahead of Thursday's deadline, but he remains away from the team ahead of Friday's game against the Bucks. It's not yet clear when he could take the court for the Hornets.
Jan 23, 2024
Unlikely to play pre-trade deadline
Lowry (recently traded) is unlikely to suit up for the Hornets prior to the league's Feb. 8 trade deadline, Schuyler Callihan of SI.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Lowry is a candidate to be flipped in a separate transaction or bought out later in the season. Eventually suiting up for the Hornets isn't impossible, but given that the 37-year-old is on an expiring contract, Lowry joining a more competitive environment could be his preferred outcome. Hornets' general manager Mitch Kupchak noted that the franchise plan to see what options exist via trade, and that not playing Lowry is a decision "out of respect for him" during this time.
Jan 23, 2024
Won't play Wednesday
Lowry (trade pending) is listed as out for Wednesday's game versus the Hornets.
ANALYSIS
Lowry was traded from Miami to Charlotte along with a first-round pick in exchange for Terry Rozier on Tuesday. However, the veteran point guard won't be available to make his Hornets' debut against Detroit. Lowry's next chance to suit up is Friday's matchup with Houston.
Jan 23, 2024
Traded to Charlotte
Lowry was traded to the Hornets on Tuesday in exchange for Terry Rozier, ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski reports.
ANALYSIS
Miami had to attach a 2017 first-round pick in the deal, but it's been clear for a while that Lowry's time with the Heat was coming to an end. This move signals a rebuild is coming to Charlotte, and on paper, Lowry's fantasy appeal could take a hit as he becomes a backup point guard behind LaMelo Ball. It's possible that Lowry could share the floor with Ball at times, however, so this will be a situation to monitor.
Jan 19, 2024
Coming off bench
Lowry will play a reserve role in Friday's matchup with the Hawks.
ANALYSIS
Lowry will come off the bench in favor of Caleb Martin. The veteran point guard has been struggling as of late, averaging 3.6 points on 25.9 percent shooting to go along with 3.2 rebounds, 3.2 assists, 0.8 blocks and 0.6 triples across 23.6 minutes per game. It will be his first game as a reserve this season.
Jan 17, 2024
Misses all six three's
Lowry finished Wednesday's 121-97 loss to the Raptors with four points (2-9 FG, 0-6 3Pt), two rebounds, three assists and one block in 29 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Lowry has now gone five straight games scoring six points or less. He's had a rough start to the new year and is averaging just 5.3 points per game on 37.9 percent shooting in January.
Jan 15, 2024
Officially active Monday
Lowry (hand) will play Monday against Brooklyn.
ANALYSIS
Lowry went through pregame warm-ups and has been cleared for action, marking a surprising rise from his doubtful designation Monday afternoon. He joins a Miami backcourt that is now fully healthy with Jimmy Butler (toe) returning from a seven-game absence, although rookie wing Jaime Jaquez (groin) is out and set to be sidelined for multiple games.
Jan 15, 2024
Trending toward playing
Lowry (hand) has been upgraded to questionable and will warm up with the intention of playing, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
Lowry was initially listed as doubtful due to a hand injury that caused him to miss back-to-back games before he returned Sunday versus Charlotte. He played 26 minutes but was held scoreless during the first half of Miami's back-to-back set, so even if he's cleared to play, the veteran point guard may have some restrictions.
Jan 15, 2024
Unlikely to play Monday
Lowry (hand) is doubtful for Monday's matchup against the Nets, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Lowry missed two games with a sprained left hand but played Sunday against the Hornets. However, it appears he's in a lot of discomfort on the second night of a back-to-back. His presumed absence could lead to more minutes for Josh Richardson, Caleb Martin and other backcourt playmakers.
Jan 14, 2024
Cleared to play
Lowry (hand) is available for Sunday's game against the Hornets, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
As expected, Lowry has been upgraded from probable to available and will presumably return to the starting lineup following a two-game absence due to a left hand sprain. Over his last four appearances (all starts), Lowry has averaged 7.5 points, 3.5 assists, 2.3 rebounds and 1.0 steals in 22.3 minutes per game.
Jan 13, 2024
Expected to play against Charlotte
Lowry (hand) is probable for Sunday's game versus the Hornets, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Lowry is expected to return to action Sunday after missing the previous two games with a left hand sprain. The veteran point guard is averaging 8.4 points, 3.6 assists, 2.0 rebounds and 1.0 steals in 24.4 minutes across his last five appearances.
Jan 12, 2024
Won't play Friday
Lowry (hand) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Magic.
ANALYSIS
As expected, Lowry has been downgraded from doubtful to out and will miss a second consecutive game after spraining his left hand during Monday's win over the Rockets. With Jimmy Butler (toe) and Tyler Herro (shoulder) also sidelined, Duncan Robinson, Nikola Jovic and Jaime Jaquez should continue to see increased usage versus Orlando.
Jan 11, 2024
Unlikely to play Friday
Lowry (hand) is doubtful for Friday's game against Orlando, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Lowry sustained a left hand sprain Monday against the Rockets and will likely be forced to miss a second consecutive game Friday. If he's unable to suit up, his next chance to return would be Sunday against the Hornets.
Jan 10, 2024
Downgraded to out
Lowry (hand) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Thunder.
ANALYSIS
As expected, Lowry has been downgraded from doubtful to out. The veteran point guard was listed with just a hand injury, so it appears he's past the illness that caused him to miss Tuesday's practice. His next chance to suit up will come Friday versus Orlando.
Jan 9, 2024
Doubtful for Wednesday
Lowry (hand, illness) is doubtful for Wednesday's game against the Thunder.
ANALYSIS
Lowry left Monday's win over Houston early due to a hand injury but was absent from Tuesday's practice due to an illness. It's worth noting that Miami's injury report has Lowry listed with just a hand injury, but the extent of both issues remains unclear. Caleb Martin (ankle, illness) is also doubtful, while Jimmy Butler (toe) has already been ruled out, so Tyler Herro, Jaime Jaquez and Nikola Jovic should all see increased roles again.
Jan 9, 2024
Dealing with an illness
Lowry (hand) was not at practice Tuesday due to an illness, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Because Lowry was absent Tuesday, there's no additional update on his left hand sprain at the moment. That injury forced him to leave Monday's game against the Rockets after just 16 minutes. Miami will release their injury report Tuesday evening, at which point there will be more clarity on his status for Wednesday's game against the Thunder.
Jan 8, 2024
Suffers left hand sprain
Lowry suffered a left hand sprain during Monday's game against the Rockets, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
Lowry played 16 minutes Monday before leaving for the locker room, although the Heat never released an official update. He returned to the bench a few minutes later, but he never took the floor again. He finished the night with six points (2-3 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds, one assist and two blocks. With Jimmy Butler (foot) still sidelined, the Heat could be in rough shape if Lowry misses time. If that does happen, Miami will need guys like Tyler Herro and Josh Richardson to increase their time on the ball.
Jan 8, 2024
Good for Monday
Lowry (illness) has been cleared for Monday's game against the Rockets, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
Lowry has averaged 7.0 points, 3.7 assists, 2.0 rebounds, 0.8 steals and 0.3 blocks across 24.3 minutes in his last six games. Despite his illness, he'll retain his role as the team's starting point guard during Monday's matchup with Houston.
Jan 8, 2024
Dealing with illness
Lowry is probable for Monday's game against the Rockets due to an illness.
ANALYSIS
Lowry is a late addition to the injury report, but he's still trending toward suiting up Monday. Over his last three games, the veteran point guard has averaged 8.0 points, 4.3 assists, 2.3 rebounds and 1.3 steals in 24.3 minutes.
Jan 1, 2024
Cleared to play
Lowry (head) will play Monday night against the Clippers.
ANALYSIS
Lowry was held out of his team's last two contests while recovering from a head injury, but he'll presumably slot back in as the Heat's starting point guard Monday. R.J. Hampton should move back to a bench role with Lowry cleared to return.
Dec 31, 2023
Questionable for Monday
Lowry (head) is questionable for Monday's game against the Clippers.
ANALYSIS
Lowry has missed the past two games for Miami and remains day-to-day. It's worth noting that he cleared all his concussion tests, and the Heat are calling his injury a contusion. If Lowry is unable to play, the Heat will likely let Tyler Herro run the bulk of their offense with R.J. Hampton playing just eight minutes in a start against the Jazz on Saturday.
Dec 30, 2023
Listed out vs. Jazz
Lowry (soreness) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against Utah, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Lowry will miss his second straight contest as a result of a head injury, though Tim Reynolds of Associated Press notes that the point guard has passed all concussion tests. Tyler Herro should make another start at point guard in Lowry's absence.
Dec 29, 2023
Listed as questionable
Lowry (soreness) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Jazz.
ANALYSIS
Lowry was unable to play Thursday against the Warriors, although it's possible the Heat were being extra cautious. Hopefully Lowry will be able to give it a go, as the Heat could be shorthanded again. Jimmy Butler (calf), Jaime Jaquez (illness) and Josh Richardson (back) are also questionable for Miami. If Lowry is unable to play, Jamal Cain could get another extended look after his strong performance Thursday. R.J. Hampton is also a candidate to see more run if Lowry sits.
Dec 28, 2023
Ruled out Thursday
Lowry (soreness) won't play in Thursday's game versus the Warriors, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Lowry has been downgraded from questionable to out Thursday due to general soreness. With Jimmy Butler (calf) still out, Tyler Herro figures to take over the majority of the playmaking duties against Golden State. Lowry's next chance to suit up is Saturday's matchup with the Jazz.
Dec 27, 2023
Questionable against Warriors
Lowry is listed as questionable for Thursday's game versus the Warriors due to general soreness.
ANALYSIS
It's unclear exactly what is bothering Lowry, but the Heat could simply be playing it cautiously with their 37-year-old point guard. If Lowry is unable to suit up, Tyler Herro would likely take over more of the playmaking duties for Miami.
Dec 22, 2023
Returns after brief departure
Lowry (lower leg) has checked back into Friday's game against the Hawks after going to the locker room, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
Lowry limped back to the locker room early in the second half with what appeared to be a lower leg injury. However, after a short absence, he checked back into the contest.
Dec 22, 2023
Heads to locker room
Lowry went back to the locker room during Friday's game against the Hawks with what appeared to be a lower leg injury, Tim Reynolds of Associated Press reports.
ANALYSIS
Lowry sustained the injury just seconds into the third quarter and had a limp while heading to the locker room. While he's out, Josh Richardson and Duncan Robinson are candidates for more minutes while Tyler Herro should handle a larger ball-handling role.
Dec 20, 2023
Starting Wednesday
Lowry will start Wednesday's game against the Magic.
ANALYSIS
With Jimmy Butler (calf) and Kevin Love (illness) sidelined, Lowry will start at point guard and be joined by Tyler Herro, Jaime Jaquez, Caleb Martin and Bam Adebayo. Per Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald, it's Miami's 16th different starting lineup this season.
Dec 19, 2023
Cleared for Wednesday
Lowry (general soreness) is available for Wednesday's game against Orlando.
ANALYSIS
Lowry will join forces with Tyler Herro while Jimmy Butler (calf) is out Wednesday. Lowry should slot back into a 30-minute workload, and he's burying a career-best 43.9 percent of 4.9 threes per game this season.
Dec 17, 2023
Won't play Monday
Lowry has been ruled out for Monday's game against Minnesota due to general soreness.
ANALYSIS
Lowry will miss his first game since Nov. 12. Josh Richardson is a candidate to move into the starting lineup in Lowry's absence, but Tyler Herro has also been cleared to suit up for the first time since Nov. 8 and figures to absorb some of Lowry's usage. Lowry's next chance to suit up will come Wednesday in Orlando.
Dec 17, 2023
Shark facilitation in win
Lowry notched 10 points (3-7 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 3-4 FT), three rebounds, seven assists and one block in 32 minutes during Saturday's 118-116 victory over the Bulls. He also registered zero turnovers.
ANALYSIS
Lowry protected the rock while bringing his brand of two-way grittiness to a contest that was tight throughout the second half. He's been a streaky shooter thus far, but Lowry is canning a career-best 43.9 percent of 4.9 threes per game through 25 games this season.
Dec 11, 2023
Available Monday
Lowry (back) is available for Monday's matchup against the Hornets, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
Lowry was dealing with back spasms Monday morning and was a late addition to the injury report. However, he'll continue to suit up for the shorthanded Heat. Over his last eight appearances, Lowry has averaged 13.4 points, 4.1 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 0.9 steals in 30.0 minutes per game.
Dec 11, 2023
Questionable for Monday
Lowry is questionable for Monday's game against Charlotte due to back spasms.
ANALYSIS
Lowry wasn't on Miami's initial injury report for Monday's matchup, but he's dealing with back spasms the morning of the game. If he's unable to suit up against the Hornets, Josh Richardson and Caleb Martin are candidates to see increased run for the Heat.
Dec 9, 2023
Leads Heat in scoring
Lowry produced 17 points (6-13 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 2-3 FT), two rebounds, five assists and two steals over 32 minutes during Friday's 111-99 loss to the Cavaliers.
ANALYSIS
Lowry usually takes a backseat when it comes to shooting volume, though he took more of the load Friday with Jimmy Butler and Duncan Robinson struggling from the floor. With Bam Adebayo (hip) and Tyler Herro (ankle) still out, Lowry figures to continue seeing more playing time and opportunities to contribute on the offensive end of the floor.
Dec 1, 2023
Another solid showing in win
Lowry dropped 15 points (6-10 FG, 3-6 3Pt), three rebounds, three assists and a block in 25 minutes during Thursday's 142-132 win over the Pacers.
ANALYSIS
Thursday night was Lowry's seventh straight contest in which he made multiple three-pointers, averaging 14.1 points, 4.1 assists, 3.9 rebounds, 1.1 steals and 0.3 blocks (while shooting a remarkable 47.7 percentage from three) across 30.0 minutes in that span. As the team's main facilitator, expect Lowry to maintain a similar workload for the remainder of the season, though Tyler Herro's (ankle) impending return could change things.
Nov 23, 2023
Drops season-high 28 points
Lowry produced 28 points (9-15 FG, 7-10 3Pt, 3-4 FT), one rebound and three assists in 29 minutes during Wednesday's 129-96 victory over the Cavaliers.
ANALYSIS
Lowry came from the clouds to score a season-high 28 points Wednesday, only the fourth time he has scored double-digits all season. Given he had scored a total of 19 points in his previous four games combined, managers should obviously view this as an outlier. With that said, he is inside the top 100 for the season, thanks primarily to his steal and assist numbers. He isn't for everyone but should still be rostered in all 12-team leagues.
Nov 21, 2023
Eight points, six assists in win
Lowry closed Monday's 118-100 victory over the Bulls with eight points (3-6 FG, 2-4 3Pt), five rebounds and six assists across 27 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Lowry turned in a serviceable performance Monday, continuing his meaningful start to the season. With the Heat very short on point guard options, Lowry has been able to carve out consistent minutes at a time when many thought he might fade quietly into the background. He is far from the player he once was but as long as he is starting, he warrants attention as an assists streamer at the very least.
Nov 15, 2023
Plagued by fouls
Lowry amassed zero points (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt), one rebound and two assists over 15 minutes during Tuesday's 111-105 win over Charlotte.
ANALYSIS
Lowry picked up two fouls before the first minute of play had concluded. Finishing with four fouls in just 15 minutes, he was never able to establish rhythm Tuesday. Lowry is a candidate to return to his normal workload Thursday against Brooklyn.
Nov 13, 2023
Not listed on injury report
Lowry (rest) isn't listed on Miami's injury report for Tuesday's matchup against the Hornets, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Lowry sat out Sunday's win over San Antonio for rest purposes, but he'll be back in action Tuesday. Over his last eight appearances, the veteran point guard has averaged 9.0 points, 5.5 assists, 4.9 rebounds and 1.3 steals in 31.1 minutes per game.
Nov 12, 2023
Ruled out Sunday
Lowry has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Spurs due to rest purposes, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
The Heat are playing the second half of a back-to-back set Sunday, so Lowry will miss his first game of the season despite not being on the team's initial injury report. Miami will be shorthanded in the backcourt Sunday with Tyler Herro (ankle) and Caleb Martin (knee) also out, so Dru Smith and Duncan Robinson could see plenty of run.
Nov 12, 2023
Scores 17 once again
Lowry ended Saturday's 117-109 victory over the Hawks with 17 points (4-8 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 5-5 FT), two rebounds, four assists and one steal in 33 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Lowry struggled offensively in the opening weeks of the season, but it seems he's turning a corner after putting up 17 points in back-to-back games. The veteran floor general needs to keep this scoring pace up to remain valuable in fantasy since he's also averaging 5.1 assists, 4.6 rebounds and 1.3 steals per contest.
Nov 9, 2023
Sniffs triple-double in win
Lowry finished Wednesday's 108-102 victory over the Grizzlies with 17 points (5-11 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 3-3 FT), 11 rebounds, nine assists and one steal in 35 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Lowry bounced back from five straight games with single-digit scoring numbers and delivered his best outing of the season by a wide margin, posting season-high numbers across the board and finishing just one assist shy of a triple-double. Lowry holds a secondary role in the offensive scheme and should be Miami's third-best option in a best-case scenario behind Jimmy Butler and Bam Adebayo, but he's still more than capable of putting up strong performances from time to time.
Nov 7, 2023
Struggles against Lakers
Lowry logged five points (2-6 FG, 1-5 3Pt), four rebounds, five assists and one steal in 33 minutes during Monday's 108-107 victory over the Lakers.
ANALYSIS
Lowry is clearly past his prime and is not contributing enough, particularly in the scoring category, to be a factor in most fantasy formats outside of deeper leagues since he's averaging 5.4 points per game while shooting 40 percent from the field. That said, he can still have value in category-based formats since he's putting up 4.0 rebounds, 4.7 assists and 1.4 steals per contest as well.
Oct 27, 2023
Balanced showing as floor general
Lowry accumulated 13 points (5-7 FG, 3-4 3Pt), eight rebounds, five assists and one block across 32 minutes during Friday's 119-111 loss to Boston.
ANALYSIS
Lowry finished second on the team in rebounds and assists while finishing as one of four Heat players with a double-digit point total in Friday's loss to the Celtics. Lowry responded strong from a scoreless outing Wednesday in the regular-season opener against Detroit, posting season-high marks in scoring, rebounds and assists at the early stages of the year.
Oct 25, 2023
Remains in starting lineup
Lowry will start Wednesday's regular-season opener against the Pistons.
ANALYSIS
Lowry started a few preseason games with Jimmy Butler out, but his role wasn't clear heading into the regular season. Caleb Martin (knee) is expected to be limited, so once he's back to 100 percent, he could replace Lowry in the starting lineup.
Oct 20, 2023
Starting against Rockets
Lowry is in the starting lineup for Friday's preseason game against the Rockets, Jackson Gatlin of Locked on Rockets reports.
ANALYSIS
Lowry was given the night off for rest on Wednesday, but he's not dealing with any injuries. It remains to be seen if he'll be the starting point guard on Opening Night.
Oct 18, 2023
Won't play Wednesday
Lowry (rest) won't play in Wednesday's preseason game against the Nets, Tim Reynolds of Associated Press reports.
ANALYSIS
Lowry is one of a handful of players sitting for Miami. The veteran point guard isn't dealing with an injury and will likely return to action for the Heat's preseason finale in Houston on Friday.
Oct 15, 2023
Absent from injury report
Lowry (rest) isn't listed on the injury report for Sunday's preseason matchup against Memphis.
ANALYSIS
Lowry didn't travel with he team to San Antonio for Friday's preseason matchup, but it looks like he'll be back in action Sunday. However, the veteran point guard shouldn't play more than 20-25 minutes.
Oct 12, 2023
Won't travel with team
Lowry won't play in Friday's preseason game against the Spurs, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
There hasn't been an indication that Lowry is dealing with an injury, so he's likely sitting out Friday's matchup for rest purposes. It's not yet clear whether he'll begin the regular season as Miami's starting point guard, but his next chance to prove his case during the preseason will be Sunday against the Grizzlies.
Oct 3, 2023
Not a lock to start
Lowry is not a lock to start at point guard for the Heat, Ira Winderman of the Sun-Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Head coach Erik Spoelstra was noncommittal when asked about Lowry potentially starting, but the veteran guard said he expects to open the season as the starter. There's been some chatter about Tyler Herro possibly getting the job, so this will definitely be something to monitor during training camp.
Jun 13, 2023
Near double-double off bench
Lowry contributed 12 points (4-13 FG, 4-9 3Pt), nine rebounds, four assists, one block and two steals in 34 minutes during Monday's 94-89 loss to the Nuggets in Game 5 of the NBA Finals.
ANALYSIS
Lowry accepted his bench role with grace and was an integral part of Miami's run to the Finals by leading the second unit. He wasn't a prolific producer during the playoffs, but his contributions always seemed to be timely. Across 23 postseason appearances, Lowry averaged 9.2 points, 4.4 assists, 3.5 rebounds and 1.0 steals with 42/37/93 shooting splits.
May 28, 2023
Modest production in loss
Lowry posted eight points (3-6 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, three assists, one block and two steals across 18 minutes during Saturday's 104-103 loss to the Celtics in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Finals.
ANALYSIS
With Gabe Vincent (ankle) back in the starting lineup, Lowry returned to his usual bench role for Game 6. The veteran guard scored his most points since Game 1 and recorded tallies in each defensive category for the third time during the Eastern Conference Finals, but his fantasy upside remains limited due to his current spot in Miami's rotation.
May 27, 2023
Returns to bench
Lowry will rejoin the reserves for Game 6, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Lowry drew a spot start in Game 5 but managed just five points and two rebounds over 30 minutes. With Gabe Vincent (ankle) healthy and back in action, Lowry will be pushed back to his typical bench role in which he averaged 6.8 points, 4.5 assists and 4.3 rebounds across 25.2 minutes per game from Games 1 through 4.
May 26, 2023
Struggles in start Thursday
Lowry closed Thursday's 110-97 loss to the Celtics in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Finals with five points (2-5 FG, 1-2 3Pt), two rebounds and one assist over 30 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Lowry moved into the starting lineup with Gabe Vincent (ankle) ruled out, but failed to make the most of his opportunity. Despite only being a 13-point margin, the Heat were never really in this one, allowing the Celtics to edge even closer to leveling the series. Vincent's status for Game 6 is unknown at this point but should he be forced to miss the game, Lowry would likely remain in the opening unit.
May 25, 2023
Starting sans Vincent
Lowry will start Thursday's Game 5 versus Boston, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Lowry will draw the start for Thursday's tilt with Gabe Vincent (ankle) sidelined. Though Lowry has come off the bench in the playoffs, he has been able to make an impact with the second unit, averaging 6.8 points, 4.5 assists and 4.3 rebounds over 25.2 minutes per game in the Eastern Conference Finals.
May 12, 2023
Plays key role in win
Lowry closed Friday's 96-92 victory over the Knicks in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals with 11 points (4-6 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, nine assists, one block and three steals across 31 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Lowry was prominent in the Game 6 victory, helping the Heat advance to the Eastern Conference Finals. Despite coming into the playoffs as the eighth seed, the Heat have been able to elevate their game, ousting both the Bucks and the Knicks. Despite continuing to come off the bench, Lowry's veteran savvy has proven vital for the Heat, giving them a calming presence at key moments throughout the game.
May 1, 2023
Strong performance Sunday
Lowry logged 18 points (5-12 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 5-6 FT), five rebounds, six assists, four blocks and one steal across 30 minutes during Sunday's 108-101 win over New York in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.
ANALYSIS
Lowry played 30 minutes off the bench, putting together arguably his best game of the playoffs. While the four blocks are certainly an added bonus, the points and assists are exactly what the team needs from him on a consistent basis moving forward. Jimmy Butler suffered an ankle injury in the victory, and should he be forced to miss time, Lowry would likely step into a larger role, both as a player and a leader.
Apr 23, 2023
Strong production off bench
Lowry contributed 15 points (5-10 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 3-3 FT), one rebound, three assists, one block and one steal in 28 minutes during Saturday's 121-99 victory over the Bucks in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Quarterfinals.
ANALYSIS
After scoring just seven total points over the first two games of the opening-round series, Lowry finished third on the team in that department behind Jimmy Butler, who scored 30 before leaving with a lower body injury, and Duncan Robinson (20). Over the last three games, the veteran point guard has averaged 7.3 points, 3.0 assists, 2.0 rebounds and 1.0 steals in 21.3 minutes.
Apr 22, 2023
Available Saturday
Lowry (knee) will play in Saturday's Game 3 against the Bucks, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Lowry has been a mainstay on the Heat's injury report as he continues to deal with a knee injury but has managed to play through the issue in each of the first two games of the series. Over Games 1 and 2, Lowry has averaged 3.5 points, 2.5 rebounds and 3.0 assists over 18.0 minutes.
Apr 21, 2023
Status uncertain for Game 3
Lowry (knee) is questionable for Game 3 against Milwaukee on Saturday, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
Lowry continues to receive questionable tags due to his lingering knee issue but suited up in the first two contests this series. Lowry played 18 minutes off the bench in Game 2 and will likely receive a similar workload if he's available to play Saturday.
Apr 19, 2023
Says he'll play Wednesday
Lowry (knee) said he's cleared to play in Wednesday's Game 2 against the Bucks and will have no minutes restriction, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
As expected, Lowry will suit up for a second straight game despite being listed as questionable. The veteran point guard came off the bench in Game 1 and posted two points, three assists and one rebound in 18 minutes. However, with Tyler Herro (hand) unavailable moving forward, Lowry will presumably be asked to handle a larger role and may even move into the starting lineup.
Apr 18, 2023
Listed as questionable again
Lowry (knee) is questionable for Wednesday's Game 2 against the Bucks.
ANALYSIS
Lowry was listed as questionable for Game 1 but ended up playing 18 minutes off the bench, totaling two points, three assists and one rebound. With Tyler Herro (hand) out at least four weeks, Miami will need all the backcourt depth they can get, so it'd be surprising to see Lowry ruled out. However, fantasy managers should still confirm his availability ahead of Wednesday's 9:00 p.m. ET.
Apr 16, 2023
Available to play
Lowry (knee) will be available to play in Sunday's Game 1 matchup with Milwaukee, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Lowry tweaked his knee during Friday's Play-In win over Chicago, and he wasn't able to finish, but he'll be out there for Game 1. It'll be interesting to see if Miami monitors his minutes.
Apr 15, 2023
Listed questionable for Game 1
Lowry (knee) is considered questionable for Sunday's Game 1 of the Eastern Conference First Round versus the Bucks, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
Lowry joins fellow point guard Gabe Vincent (hip) on the injury report as questionable, leaving the position in flux heading into game day. Look for the team to provide an update on the pair before the game tips off at 5:30 p.m. ET on Sunday.
Apr 14, 2023
Available against Chicago
Lowry (knee) is available for Friday's Play-In Game against Chicago, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
Lowry was questionable ahead of Friday's matchup, but he's been cleared to suit up as the Heat attempt to earn a spot in the Eastern Conference First Round. Over his final 11 appearances in the regular season, he averaged 7.9 points, 4.5 assists and 3.2 rebounds in 22.9 minutes per game.
Apr 13, 2023
Questionable Friday
Lowry is questionable for Friday's Play-In game versus the Bulls with left knee soreness, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Lowry has consistently received questionable tags since returning from his long absence on March 10 but has played in 12 of the Heat's last 15 games. With Gabe Vincent (back) questionable, Lowry could receive extended minutes against Chicago.
Apr 11, 2023
Surpasses 30 points off bench
Lowry registered 33 points (11-16 FG, 6-9 3Pt, 5-5 FT), four rebounds and five assists in 33 minutes during Tuesday's 116-105 play-in game loss to Atlanta.
ANALYSIS
Lowry posted a game-leading scoring total while leading Miami in threes made and leading the Heat second unit in minutes played, shots made and assists in Tuesday's loss. Lowry, who recorded his highest scoring total in a Heat uniform, reached the 30-point mark for the first time this season.
Apr 11, 2023
Good to go against Atlanta
Lowry (knee) is available for Tuesday's Play-In game versus the Hawks, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
Lowry is set to play Tuesday despite dealing with a lingering knee injury. The veteran point guard has come off the bench behind Gabe Vincent in his last 11 appearances. He is averaging 7.9 points, 4.5 assists and 3.2 rebounds in 22.9 minutes over that span.
Apr 10, 2023
Questionable Tuesday
Lowry is questionable for Tuesday's Play-In matchup against Atlanta due to left knee soreness, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
Lowry has dealt with his left knee issue in recent weeks, and it's not yet clear whether he'll be available Tuesday after suiting up in Sunday's regular-season finale against Orlando. Over 11 appearances since the start of March, he's averaged 7.9 points, 4.5 assists and 3.2 rebounds in 22.9 minutes per game.
Apr 9, 2023
Will be available Sunday
Lowry (knee) is available to play Sunday against the Magic.
ANALYSIS
Injuries have plagued Lowry during the last few months, but the veteran floor general will participate in the season finale. However, head coach Erik Spoelstra said Adebayo and other starters will see a reduced workload, per Will Manso of Local 10 Miami. As such, don't expect Lowry to see heavy minutes in this one, especially since Miami will play against the Hawks on Tuesday in the Play-In Tournament. Gabe Vincent and Victor Oladipo should experience an uptick in playing time as a result.
Apr 8, 2023
Questionable Sunday
Lowry (knee) is questionable for Sunday's game against Orlando.
ANALYSIS
Left knee pain has plagued the second half of Lowry's season, and will tag him as questionable for the Heat's regular-season finale. Considering Miami is already locked into the No. 7 seed, it wouldn't be surprising to see Lowry to take Sunday off.
Apr 6, 2023
Out Friday
Lowry (knee) won't play Friday against the Wizards, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Heraldreports.
ANALYSIS
Lowry's still in the process of recovering from a knee injury and so he'll ultimately miss the second leg of the Heat's back-to-back. Expect Gabe Vincent and Victor Oladipo to see increased minutes Friday. Lowry's final chance to play in the regular season will be Sunday against Orlando.
Apr 6, 2023
Available Thursday
Lowry (knee) is available for Thursday's game against the 76ers, Ky Carlin of USA Today reports.
ANALYSIS
Lowry was questionable for Thursday's matchup but will be available for the first half of a back-to-back set. Over his last two appearances, he's averaged 8.5 points and 6.0 assists in 25.0 minutes per game.
Apr 5, 2023
Iffy Thursday
Lowry is questionable for Thursday's game versus the 76ers due to left knee soreness.
ANALYSIS
Lowry continues to deal with a left knee injury, and it wouldn't be surprising to see him sit out either leg of the Heat's back-to-back on Thursday and Friday. If he's unable to suit up against Philadelphia, Gabe Vincent and Victor Oladipo would likely receive extended minutes.
Apr 4, 2023
Posts. double figures off bench
Lowry registered 11 points (3-6 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 3-3 FT), two rebounds, five assists, one block and one steal across 23 minutes during Tuesday's 118-105 win over the Pistons.
ANALYSIS
Lowry came off the bench Tuesday while still recovering from a knee injury, leading the Heat bench in scoring and assists while finishing as one of five players with a double-digit point total. Lowry has tallied at least 10 points and five dimes in 21 games this season but did so for the first time since Jan. 29 against Charlotte.
Apr 4, 2023
Good to go Tuesday
Lowry (knee) is available for Tuesday's game against the Pistons, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Lowry has been upgraded from questionable to available and will suit up a second straight game while managing his knee injury. The veteran point guard has appeared in eight of Miami's past 10 contests, averaging 8.1 points, 4.3 assists and 3.4 rebounds in 24.6 minutes off the bench.
Apr 3, 2023
Considered questionable Tuesday
Lowry (knee) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Pistons, Adam Lichtenstein reports.
ANALYSIS
Miami has been very careful with Lowry's minutes in recent weeks as they seek to keep him fresh for the postseason. If he's unable to go Tuesday, we would likely see Gabe Vincent play a significant role for Miami. The last time Lowry missed a game on March 29, Vincent put up 21 points in 31 minutes.
Apr 1, 2023
Good to go Saturday
Lowry (rest/knee) is available for Saturday's matchup against the Mavericks, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
After a one-game absence on the second half of a back-to-back, the veteran will return Saturday. Over the past seven games, Lowry has averaged 8.4 points, 3.9 assists and 3.3 rebounds in 24.3 minutes.
Mar 31, 2023
Listed as questionable for Saturday
Lowry (rest/knee) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Mavericks, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
Lowry sat out the second half of Miami's back-to-back set to manage his right knee injury and was initially expected to be fine heading into the matchup against Dallas. However, it appears the Heat will continue to err on the side of caution and wait until closer to Saturday's 7:30 p.m. ET tipoff to make a final decision on the point guard's availability.
Mar 29, 2023
Ruled out
Lowry (rest/knee) will not play in Wednesday's game against the Knicks.
ANALYSIS
Lowry will end up missing the closing leg of Miami's back-to-back after being ruled out Wednesday morning and then being listed as questionable just an hour later. Lowry should be expected to be back in action for Saturday's matchup with the Mavericks, but his absence should open up more opportunities for Victor Oladipo on Wednesday.
Mar 29, 2023
Upgraded to questionable
Lowry (rest/knee) is now considered questionable and will be a game-time decision for Wednesday's game versus the Knicks, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Lowry was previously ruled out Wednesday as team doctors wouldn't allow him to play both nights of back-to-backs. The veteran point guard is averaging 8.4 points, 3.9 assists and 3.3 rebounds in 24.3 minutes across his last seven games since recovering from a knee injury.
Mar 29, 2023
Won't play Wednesday
Lowry (rest) won't play Wednesday against the Knicks, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
As expected, Lowry will take a seat for the second half of a back-to-back set after playing 24 minutes Tuesday. Gabe Vincent (back) is questionable, so if both of Miami's top point guards are sidelined, Victor Oladipo could see an increased workload, though the red-hot Tyler Herro figures to continue garnering as much usage as he can handle. Lowry's next chance to suit up will come Saturday against the Mavericks.
Mar 29, 2023
Plays through knee injury
Lowry amassed six points (1-6 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), five rebounds, two assists and two steals over 24 minutes during Tuesday's 106-92 loss to Toronto.
ANALYSIS
Lowry came off the bench again Tuesday, continuing to play through what has been a lengthy knee issue. While the Toronto fans would have loved seeing him out there, he was not able to offer much in the way of tangible production, falling short in front of his former home crowd. At this point, Lowry appears to be a spent force, meaning fantasy managers can safely look elsewhere when scouring the waiver wire.
Mar 28, 2023
Good to go against Toronto
Lowry (knee) is available for Tuesday's game versus the Raptors, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Lowry is set to play Tuesday and then sit Wednesday on the second leg of the Heat's back-to-back. The veteran point guard has come off the bench behind Gabe Vincent in his last six appearances and is averaging 24.3 minutes over that span.
Mar 28, 2023
Plans to play Tuesday
Lowry (knee) is officially listed as questionable for Tuesday's game in Toronto, but he said the plan is for him to play against the Raptors and sit Wednesday in New York, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Lowry still isn't cleared for back-to-backs following his lengthy injury absence, so Miami's plan for the veteran point guard isn't surprising. He hasn't officially been cleared to suit up Tuesday either, so fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status until the Heat make an official announcement. If cleared, Lowry figures to see between 20-25 minutes, as Miami has kept a close eye on his playing time since he saw 36 minutes in his return to action March 11.
Mar 27, 2023
Listed as questionable
Lowry (knee) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Raptors according to Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel.
ANALYSIS
Lowry's minutes have been held in check for the past five games as the Heat continue to exercise caution. Tuesday's game is the front end of a back-to-back set, so we could see Lowry sit out one of these games. Look for Gabe Vincent to pick up the slack if that's the case.
Mar 26, 2023
Meager output in blowout loss
Lowry posted three points (1-3 FG, 1-2 3Pt), one rebound, four assists and two blocks in 22 minutes during Saturday's 129-100 loss to the Nets.
ANALYSIS
Lowry continues to come off the bench and wasn't assertive during Saturday's disappointing loss to Brooklyn. This was by far Lowry's worst offensive performance since returning from a month-long absence, and until he returns to a prominent, starting-level role, it's likely safe to ignore the veteran point guard in most fantasy formats.
Mar 25, 2023
Cleared for Saturday
Lowry (knee) is available for Saturday's game against the Nets, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Lowry was initially questionable but will appear in a third straight game. Since returning from a month-long absence, he's averaged 10.0 points, 4.2 assists and 3.4 rebounds in 24.8 minutes.
Mar 24, 2023
Questionable Saturday
Lowry (knee) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Nets, Adam Lichtenstein of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Lowry continues to deal with a sore left knee, but he's been able to suit up in the last two games despite the injury. He's appeared in five of Miami's last six matchups and has averaged 10.0 points, 4.2 assists and 3.4 rebounds in 24.8 minutes per game during that time.
Mar 22, 2023
Good to go
Lowry (knee) will be available for Wednesday's game against the Knicks, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
As expected, Lowry will continue to play through knee soreness following a month-long absence. The veteran point guard has played in four of Miami's past five contests, averaging 9.0 points, 4.5 assists and 3.3 rebounds in 25.0 minutes during that stretch.
Mar 21, 2023
Questionable, but expected to play
Lowry (knee) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Knicks, but he's expected to play, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Lowry continues to battle knee soreness following a month-long absence, but it appears like the veteran point guard will continue to push through the pain so he can help Miami during the stretch run. He's appeared in four of the past five matchups, with his lone absence coming during the first half a back-to-back set, and is averaging 9.0 points, 4.5 assists and 3.3 rebounds in 25.0 minutes during that stretch.
Mar 19, 2023
All-around game off bench in return
Lowry contributed seven points (2-2 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 1-1 FT), six rebounds and six assists in 25 minutes during Sunday's 112-100 victory over the Pistons.
ANALYSIS
Lowry continues to work his way back from a lengthy absence due to a knee injury, returning Sunday after sitting out Saturday's game by putting forth an all-around showing off the bench. Lowry has tallied at least five points, five rebounds and five assists 14 times this season.
Mar 19, 2023
Available to play
Lowry (knee) will be available to play Sunday versus the Pistons.
ANALYSIS
Lowry is back from his rest day and should be ready for roughly 20 minutes off the bench. The Heat are still being cautious with him as he works his way back from a lengthy absence, so he's not an ideal target in daily fantasy leagues, but he's fine to activate in season-long settings. Victor Olaldipo could be headed for a DNP-CD with Lowry active.
Mar 19, 2023
Expected to play Sunday
Lowry (knee) is expected to play Sunday against the Pistons, Anthony Chiang reports.
ANALYSIS
Lowry is dealing with left knee soreness but is expected to play Sunday after being held out of the first leg of the back-to-back Saturday against the Bulls. The veteran floor general has made just four appearances since the beginning of February and is averaging 8.0 points, 3.5 assists and 2.0 rebounds per game in that span.
Mar 19, 2023
Questionable Sunday
Lowry (knee) is questionable for Sunday's game in Detroit.
ANALYSIS
Lowry sat out Saturday's game, as he's not yet been cleared for back-to-back sets, but now it appears there's a chance he could miss Sunday's game as well. With this game being the second of a back-to-back, the Heat won't host a shootaround, so Lowry will essentially be a game-time call. If he's not able to give it a go, Gabe Vincent and Victor Oladipo will benefit.
Mar 18, 2023
Out Saturday, should play Sunday
Lowry (knee) will not play Saturday against the Bulls but is expected back in the second game of the back-to-back set Sunday versus the Pistson, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Hearld reports.
ANALYSIS
The Heat's coaching staff continues to make sure Lowry feels good as the regular season winds down, giving him some rest to ensure he'll be available when the playoffs fire up in April. Lowry is just three games removed from an extended absence due to a left knee issue, so it's not surprising the team is being careful with the veteran.
Mar 18, 2023
Downgraded to out
Lowry (knee) will not play in Saturday's game against the Bulls, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Lowry will sit out the first leg of Miami's back-to-back set Saturday due to left knee soreness. Lowry missed 15 games due to the left knee issue before returning to action for Miami's last three contests. Gabe Vincent should remain in the starting lineup with Lowry sidelined while Victor Oladipo should resume backup point guard duties. Lowry should be back in action Sunday against Detroit.
Mar 17, 2023
Iffy against Chicago
Lowry is questionable for Saturday's game versus the Bulls due to left knee soreness.
ANALYSIS
Lowry has come off the bench in Miami's last three games after returning from his knee injury. However, with the Heat playing a back-to-back on Saturday and Sunday, it wouldn't be surprising for the veteran point guard to be held out of at least one of those contests. Either way, Gabe Vincent will likely remain in the starting lineup.
Mar 16, 2023
Logs 20 minutes off bench
Lowry registered eight points (3-4 FG, 2-3 3Pt), four rebounds and four assists over 20 minutes during Wednesday's 138-119 victory over the Grizzlies.
ANALYSIS
Lowry continues to come off the bench for the Heat, playing as the backup to Gabe Vincent. The medical staff is taking a cautious approach to Lowry's playing time, easing him back in slowly after a prolonged injury absence. Despite having a plethora of top 50 seasons in his bag, Lowry's days of being a fantasy-relevant asset appear to be behind him. He can be considered for streaming purposes but anything more than that feels unlikely.
Mar 15, 2023
Available Wednesday
Lowry (knee) is available for Wednesday's game against the Grizzlies, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald
ANALYSIS
Lowry was questionable for Wednesday's matchup due to his sore left knee, but he'll be able to suit up for a third consecutive game. He's come off the bench in his last two appearances, averaging 10.5 points and 4.0 assists in 27.5 minutes per game.
Mar 14, 2023
Listed as questionable
Lowry is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Grizzlies due to left knee soreness, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
Lowry has suited up for back-to-back games after returning from a month-long absence due to a knee injury. He played just 19 minutes during Monday's win after playing 36 on Saturday, so it looks like the Heat will proceed with caution in attempt to prevent any potential setbacks. If Lowry is downgraded to out, Victor Oladipo, Max Strus and Duncan Robinson would be candidates for increased minutes.
Mar 13, 2023
Not listed in starting five
Lowry will come off the bench Monday against the Jazz.
ANALYSIS
As anticipated, Lowry will serve as a reserve in Monday's clash, paving the way for Gabe Vincent and Tyler Herro to man the backcourt. Lowry logged 36 minutes in his return Saturday against the Magic, but he could see a lighter workload Monday after coach Erik Spoelstra noted he's going to be better about monitoring the point guard's minutes.
Mar 13, 2023
Expected to come off bench again
Head coach Erik Spoelstra indicated that the plan is for Lowry (knee) to come off the bench during Monday's matchup against the Jazz, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Lowry returned to action Saturday following a 15-game absence due to left knee soreness and played 36 minutes. However, Spoelstra apparently regretted keeping the veteran point guard on the floor for so long, saying "I'm going to do a better job [Monday] than I did in Orlando." This is certainly discouraging news for fantasy managers who held on to Lowry during his lengthy absence, and it's currently unclear how long he'll remain limited.
Mar 13, 2023
Cleared for action
Lowry (knee) is available for Monday's matchup against Utah.
ANALYSIS
Lowry has been upgraded from questionable to available and will suit up for a second consecutive contest following a 15-game absence due to left knee soreness. The veteran point guard came off the bench Saturday and didn't appear limited across 36 minutes, so it wouldn't be surprising to see him reclaim his starting role Monday.
Mar 12, 2023
Questionable Monday
Lowry (left knee soreness) is questionable for Monday's game against the Jazz.
ANALYSIS
Lowry returned from a 15-game absence Saturday and logged 36 minutes off the bench, but now he finds himself back on the injury report with the same ailment that forced him to spend so much time on the sidelines. It's unclear if he experienced a setback in his return, but managers will need to check back on his status closer to Monday's tip. If he can't give it a go, Gabe Vincent and Victor Oladipo will benefit.
Mar 12, 2023
Gets major minutes in return
Lowry (knee) tallied 12 points (4-8 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four assists, two rebounds, two steals and one block across 36 minutes Saturday in the Heat's 126-114 overtime loss to the Magic.
ANALYSIS
Since Lowry had missed the Heat's previous 15 games and was coming off the bench Saturday, the prevailing expectation was that his minutes would be limited as he suited up for the first time in five weeks. Instead, Lowry ended up handling his biggest workload since Dec. 10, with Tyler Herro (26 minutes) ceding some playing time to the veteran point guard while battling food poisoning. Herro should be ready to reclaim a 30-plus-minute role Monday against the Jazz, but Lowry could still have a path to a sizable role of his own if Heat head coach Erik Spoelstra elects to marginalize Gabe Vincent, who had averaged a meager 5.0 points in 25.2 minutes per game over a stretch of six outings before logging 37 minutes Saturday. Based on the playing time he received in his first game back, Lowry looks like a strong pickup in most fantasy leagues where he might have been sitting on the waiver wire in light of his prolonged absence.
Mar 11, 2023
Coming off bench
Lowry (knee) is coming off the bench Saturday against the Magic, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Lowry has missed the past 15 games for Miami, so the Heat will ease their veteran point guard back into the rotation. Gabe Vincent will remain with the starters once more.
Mar 11, 2023
Available to play Saturday
Lowry (knee) is officially available Saturday against Orlando, ESPN's Nick Friedell reports.
ANALYSIS
Presumably, Lowry will enter the starting lineup and Gabe Vincent will move to the bench. But after 15 games on the sidelines, the Heat may be cautious with Lowry's minutes Saturday.
Mar 11, 2023
Officially questionable
Lowry (knee) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Magic, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
Lowry is expected to make his return from a 15-game absence with soreness in his left knee, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reported Friday despite his official questionable designation. Although Lowry will likely be under a minutes restriction, his return will spell fewer opportunities for Gabe Vincent.
Mar 10, 2023
Expected to play Saturday
Lowry (knee) is expected to play Saturday against the Magic,Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
This would be a huge lift for Miami as they've been without their floor general for 15 games. Because of the lengthy absence, we'd expect Lowry's minutes to monitored early on. If Lowry does get the green light, Gabe Vincent would likely head back to the bench and his fantasy value would take a big hit.
Mar 9, 2023
Remains out against Cleveland
Lowry (knee) won't play in Friday's game versus the Cavaliers.
ANALYSIS
Despite hoping to return before the end of the regular season, Lowry will miss his 15th straight game Friday with left knee soreness. Gabe Vincent should continue to start in the veteran point guard's absence. Lowry's next chance to suit up is Saturday's matchup with Orlando.
Mar 8, 2023
Team hopeful for late-season return
Lowry (knee) remains out for Wednesday's game against the Cavaliers, but the Heat are optimistic he'll return before the end of the regular season and possibly within the next week, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
The timeline provided in the report is far from definitive, so the Heat are seemingly content to continue updating Lowry's status on a game-by-game basis rather than offering up a clear target date for his return. Lowry, who hasn't played since Feb. 2 due to left knee soreness, had been dealing with lingering pain for the last few months and saw his performance suffer prior to being sidelined. In 44 appearances this season, Lowry is averaging 12.0 points and 5.3 assists per game -- his lowest marks since the 2012-13 season and 2009-10 season, respectively -- while shooting 39.6 percent from the field and 33.3 percent from three-point range.
Mar 7, 2023
Out Wednesday
Lowry (knee) is out Wednesday against the Cavaliers.
ANALYSIS
It remains unclear when the veteran may return. He last played Feb. 2, and there have been no updates regarding tangible progress.
Mar 5, 2023
Out again Monday
Lowry (knee) will remain on the sidelines for Monday's game against the Hawks, Tim Reynolds of Associated Press reports.
ANALYSIS
It remains unclear how close Lowry is to getting back to the floor, but at this juncture in the fantasy season, it's getting tough to justify holding him outside of an injury reserve spot. Gabe Vincent will continue to start in his absence, and there will be more minutes available for Victor Oladipo. Lowry's next chance to play will come Wednesday against the Cavs.
Mar 3, 2023
Won't play versus Atlanta
Coach Erik Spoelstra said Friday that Lowry (knee) is out for Saturday's game versus the Hawks, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Lowry will miss both legs of the Heat's back-to-back on Friday and Saturday due to left knee soreness. Gabe Vincent should remain in the starting lineup in his absence. Lowry hasn't played since Feb. 2, but his next chance to suit up will be Monday's matchup with Atlanta.
Mar 2, 2023
Still out Friday
Lowry (knee) is out for Friday's tilt against the Knicks.
ANALYSIS
Lowry will miss an 11th straight game Friday, and it's unclear when he'll return from left knee soreness. His next chance arrives Saturday against the Hawks.
Feb 28, 2023
Remains sidelined Wednesday
Lowry (knee) is out for Wednesday's game versus the 76ers, Tim Reynolds of Associated Press reports.
ANALYSIS
Lowry's absence streak will extend to 10 games due to left knee soreness. Gabe Vincent is set to remain in the starting lineup in the veteran point guard's absence. Lowry's next chance to suit up is Friday's matchup with the Knicks.
Feb 27, 2023
Listed out Monday
Lowry (knee) has been downgraded to out Monday against the 76ers.
ANALYSIS
This will be Lowry's ninth straight game on the sidelines, but he was considered questionable prior to this update and appears to be getting closer. In the meantime, Gabe Vincent will continue to hold down the fort at point guard, but he has struggled lately with a total of seven points in his last two games.
Feb 26, 2023
Upgraded to questionable
Lowry (knee) is questionable for Monday's matchup against the 76ers.
ANALYSIS
Lowry has missed eight straight games due to left knee soreness, but he'll have a chance to suit up Monday. If he is cleared, it may come with some limitations, so fantasy managers should monitor the veteran point guard's status closely.
Feb 23, 2023
Out indefinitely
Head coach Erik Spoelstra indicated Thursday that Lowry (knee) would remain out indefinitely, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun-Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Lowry missed six consecutive games heading into the All-Star break, and it appears he'll miss at least a few more contests while dealing with lingering knee pain. Winderman relays that Lowry left Thursday's practice without comment, despite several requests, so the veteran point guard's status moving forward is murky, at best. Gabe Vincent figures to be the primary beneficiary of Lowry's prolonged absence.
Feb 19, 2023
Could return by end of February
Lowry (knee) hopes to return to Miami's starting lineup by the end of February, Tim Reynolds of Associated Press reports.
ANALYSIS
Lowry missed six consecutive contests heading into the All-Star break due to left knee soreness, and it appears he may miss another game or two but is getting close to suiting up again. Miami returns to action Friday in Milwaukee before heading to Charlotte on Saturday. The Heat end the month the following Monday in Philadelphia, which appears to be the game the veteran point guard is targeting. Per Reynolds, Lowry's return timetable should become clearer following Sunday's All-Star Game.
Feb 11, 2023
Sidelined through All-Star break
Lowry (knee) won't make his return until after the All-Star break, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
Coach Erik Spoelstra indicated Saturday that Victor Oladipo (ankle) is the only injured Heat player with a realistic chance of returning before the break, essentially ruling Lowry out for the remaining three games of the first half. Gabe Vincent (ankle) should continue to start in his stead, while Lowry will turn his sights toward Feb. 24 versus the Bucks for his next opportunity to return.
Feb 7, 2023
Out next three games
Lowry (knee) will be out for the next three games, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports. His next chance to play arrives Monday against the Nuggets.
ANALYSIS
Left knee soreness forced the veteran to sit out Saturday against the Bucks, but the injury is significant enough to keep him out for an extended period. Gabe Vincent should remain in the starting five and see increased minutes.
Feb 3, 2023
Listed out against Bucks
Lowry has been listed as out against the Bucks on Saturday due to left knee soreness.
ANALYSIS
Lowry has been ice cold from the field lately and this could be related. In his previous five games, the veteran point guard shot just 25 percent from the field. Gabe Vincent (ankle) is currently questionable but will be a popular streamer if he's given the green light.
Feb 3, 2023
Another woeful night
Lowry chipped in three points (1-7 FG, 1-5 3Pt), one rebound, two assists and one steal in 24 minutes during Thursday's 106-104 loss to the Knicks.
ANALYSIS
Things go from bad to worse for Lowry, turning in another woeful performance. To say it's been a rough few weeks for Lowry would be putting it nicely. He is outside the top 200 in nine-category leagues over the past two weeks, averaging just 7.1 points to go with 3.7 assists and 1.1 steals. His playing time remains limited, logging 30 minutes only twice in the same timeframe. While he should be better than this, his spot on a 12-team roster shouldn't simply be a given.
Jan 25, 2023
Struggles in close win
Lowry closed Tuesday's 98-95 win over the Celtics with two points (1-7 FG, 0-4 3Pt), five rebounds and eight assists in 29 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Lowry couldn't step up in the absence of Jimmy Butler (back), though his eight assists to two turnovers provided value. Still, fantasy managers who enjoyed Lowry's early-season performances are starting to be weighed down by his recent struggles. Over the veteran's past 10 appearances, he's averaged just 7.0 points on 38/23/80 shooting, 3.8 assists, 3.5 rebounds and 1.2 steals in 28.3 minutes.
Jan 23, 2023
Catches fire late Sunday
Lowry finished Sunday's 100-96 win over the Pelicans with 17 points (6-9 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four steals, two assists and one rebound in 31 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Making his third straight appearance for Miami following a four-game absence due to a sore left knee, Lowry delivered by far his most encouraging performance since his return to the lineup. After being limited to 22 and 21 minutes in his first two games back in action, Lowry not only saw a sizable uptick in playing time Sunday, but he served as the Heat's go-to option down the stretch. Lowry poured in nine of his points in the final 3:03 of Sunday's contest and made an impact on the defensive end to help propel Miami to a victory.
Jan 18, 2023
Expected to have minutes reduced
Lowry doesn't have a strict minutes limit for Wednesday's game against the Pelicans, but coach Erik Spoelstra noted, "I won't play him what he was playing before, certainly not where he was one of the league leaders in minutes," Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
Before his first absence of the season Dec. 8, Lowry saw 36.4 minutes per game -- on pace for his highest mark since 2016-17. Since then, Lowry has missed eight of the past 19 games and is seeing 31.9 minutes per game. Moving forward, fantasy managers should expect the veteran to see minutes in the low 30s, rather than the mid-to-high 30s.
Jan 18, 2023
Set to play Wednesday
Lowry (knee) will be available for Wednesday's game versus the Pelicans.
ANALYSIS
Lowry figures to resume his starting point guard duties in his return, sending Gabe Vincent back to a bench role. The veteran is averaging 13.1 points, 5.6 assists, 4.4 rebounds and 1.1 steals over 35.0 minutes per game in his 36 appearances but is posting his worst efficiency from the field (39.8 percent) and from beyond the arc (33.6 percent) since 2009.
Jan 17, 2023
Questionable Wednesday
Lowry (knee) is questionable for Wednesday's game versus the Pelicans, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
Lowry may play Wednesday after missing the previous four games with left knee discomfort. The veteran point guard's return would likely send Gabe Vincent back to the bench.
Jan 15, 2023
Not playing Monday
Lowry (knee) has been ruled out of Monday's game against the Hawks.
ANALYSIS
The veteran floor general has not played since Jan. 8 and is set to miss a fourth straight game. His next chance to play will come Wednesday against the Pelicans, and Gabe Vincent is expected to remain a starter while Lowry is out.
Jan 13, 2023
Remains out
Lowry (knee) will not play in Saturday's tilt against the Bucks, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Saturday marks Lowry's third consecutive absence due to soreness in his left knee. In his stead, Gabe Vincent will likely remain in the first unit while Tyler Herro (Achilles) and Victor Oladipo are candidates to see expanded run. Lowry's next chance to play comes Monday in Atlanta.
Jan 11, 2023
Sitting out Thursday
Lowry (knee) won't take the floor Thursday versus the Bucks, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Lowry joins a bevy of Heat players who won't take the floor, likely leaving the team as a significant underdog in the first of back-to-back games against the Bucks on Thursday and Saturday. Lowry was listed as questionable prior to the previous game before being ruled out, so this represents a step in the wrong direction. Look for Gabe Vincent to start and receive a heavy workload again in Lowry's place.
Jan 10, 2023
Dealing with knee issue
Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said Tuesday that Lowry is dealing with left knee soreness and will be day-to-day moving forward, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Lowry has already been ruled out for Tuesday's contest versus the Thunder. However, fantasy managers shouldn't be surprised to see the veteran point guard miss more time in the near future. Gabe Vincent, Victor Oladipo and Tyler Herro will receive extended minutes if Lowry's knee continues to be an issue.
Jan 9, 2023
Downgraded to out
Lowry (knee) has been ruled out for Tuesday's matchup against the Thunder.
ANALYSIS
Lowry was initially listed as questionable for Tuesday due to left knee discomfort, but the veteran point guard has since been downgraded to out. In his absence, Victor Oladipo and Gabe Vincent (knee) are candidates for increased roles.
Jan 9, 2023
Listed as questionable
Lowry is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Thunder due to left knee discomfort, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
Lowry has appeared in the last six matchups but has had relatively limited production, averaging 6.5 points, 3.7 assists and 2.8 rebounds in 30.2 minutes per game while shooting 31.1 percent from the floor over that stretch. If he's unable to suit up against the Thunder, Gabe Vincent (knee) and Victor Oladipo would likely see increased run.
Jan 9, 2023
Tough shooting performance
Lowry posted four points (2-10 FG, 0-5 3Pt), five rebounds, four assists and two steals across 31 minutes during Sunday's 102-101 loss to the Nets.
ANALYSIS
Lowry once again struggled to find his shooting touch, as he shot only 20.0 percent from the field and failed to connect on a triple. He's hit only 31.1 percent of his field goals and 19.4 percent of his attempts from beyond the arc over his last six contests
Dec 30, 2022
Starting Friday
Lowry (personal) will return to the first five for Friday's game against the Nuggets, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Lowry will regain his starting spot after a one-game absence due to personal reasons. He has averaged 14.4 points, 6.0 assists and 4.8 rebounds in 35.9 minutes per game this season.
Dec 29, 2022
Not on injury report
Lowry (personal) is listed as available for Friday's game at Denver, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
After appearing in 25 consecutive contests to begin the year, Lowry has missed five of the past ten games. During this recent stretch, he's averaged 14.6 points, 5.8 assists and 3.8 rebounds in 34.0 minutes.
Dec 28, 2022
Late scratch Wednesday
Lowry (personal) is out for Wednesday's game against the Lakers.
ANALYSIS
Lowry was initially omitted from the injury report, but he's ultimately been ruled out just an hour before tipoff. More minutes should be available for Gabe Vincent and Victor Oladipo.
Dec 27, 2022
Omitted from injury report
Lowry (personal) wasn't included on the injury report for Wednesday's game versus the Lakers.
ANALYSIS
Lowry was excused from Tuesday's practice for a personal reason, but it appears he will be available for Wednesday's game versus the Lakers. Lowry has posted a pair of solid fantasy efforts since returning from a three-game absence due to a knee injury, averaging 19.5 points, 7.0 assists and 5.5 rebounds over 34.0 between them.
Dec 27, 2022
Should play Wednesdsay
Lowry is expected to suit up Wednesday despite being excused from Tuesday's practice for personal reasons, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
No specifics were given as to why Lowry didn't participate in practice Tuesday, but it doesn't sound like there are any concerns surrounding his status leading up to Wednesday. Expect him to start at point guard for Miami again unless something changes over the next 24 hours.
Dec 27, 2022
Comes close to double-double
Lowry chipped in 18 points (8-16 FG, 2-6 3Pt), five rebounds, nine assists and one steal across 34 minutes during Monday's 113-110 victory over the Timberwolves.
ANALYSIS
Lowry's experience and veteran leadership were necessary for this game, and the floor general delivered as he ended as one of Miami's top scorers while also ending just one assist from reaching a double-double. Lowry has missed four games in December already, but he's been productive when available and is averaging 13.9 points with 5.6 assists and 4.6 boards per contest this month.
Dec 24, 2022
Nice night in return
Lowry finished Friday's 111-108 loss to the Pacers with 21 points (8-16 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 1-1 FT), six rebounds and five assists over 34 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Lowry didn't display any signs of rust in his return from a three-game absence due to a knee issue. He knocked down half of his shots from the field and beyond the arc to produce just his sixth 20-point performance of the year, and his assist and rebound totals were essentially on par with his season averages. While Lowry is clearly on the downswing side of his career, he's still a worthwhile fantasy lineup option in most formats, thanks to his well-rounded game.
Dec 23, 2022
Starting Friday
Lowry will return to the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Pacers.
ANALYSIS
Lowry missed three games due to a knee injury but will reclaim his starting point guard spot Friday. His return knocks Victor Oladipo back to the bench.
Dec 22, 2022
Left off injury report
Lowry (knee) isn't on the injury report for Friday's game versus the Pacers, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
Lowry is active Friday after missing the last three games with a knee injury. The veteran point guard has started in all 28 of his appearances this season and will likely do so again against Indiana.
Dec 22, 2022
Partakes in practice Thursday
Lowry (knee) joined in on Thursday's practice session, David Wilson of The Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
Lowry has missed the last three contests, but his appearance in practice Thursday could align him for a return to action versus the Pacers on Friday. The team's injury report later in the day Thursday should provide more clarity on his chances of lacing up the sneakers.
Dec 20, 2022
Downgraded to out Tuesday
Lowry (knee) won't take the floor Tuesday versus the Bulls.
ANALYSIS
After an initial questionable listing, Lowry can now be excluded from the candidates to suit up for the Heat on Tuesday. With Lowry and Gabe Vincent (knee) unavailable, the Heat will likely turn to Tyler Herro, Victor Oladipo and Jimmy Butler for more ball-handling duties.
Dec 19, 2022
Iffy for Tuesday's contest
Lowry (knee) is questionable for Tuesday's matchup against the Bulls, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
Lowry has missed back-to-back games and three of Miami's past six contests. His first two absences were considered rest, but it appears like his knee injury may be a little more serious than initially anticipated. If he's out again, Tyler Herro and Victor Oladipo figure to be strong candidates for heavy minutes at point guard.
Dec 17, 2022
Ruled out Saturday
Lowry (knee) won't play in Saturday's game versus the Spurs.
ANALYSIS
While most of the Heat players saw upgrades to their statuses Saturday morning, Lowry went the other direction and will miss out on a good matchup versus a leaky Spurs defense. His absence, combined with Gabe Vincent (knee) still being sidelined, could open more ball-handling minutes for Jimmy Butler, Tyler Herro and Victor Oladipo. Lowry's next chance to return arrives Tuesday versus the Bulls.
Dec 16, 2022
Questionable Saturday
Lowry is questionable for Saturday's game against the Spurs due to left knee soreness.
ANALYSIS
Every single player on the Heat is on the injury report for Saturday's game. Lowry is one of six labeled questionable. Fantasy managers can't do much besides sit and wait for further updates on the whole roster.
Dec 15, 2022
Getting rest day Thursday
Lowry will sit out Thursday's game against the Rockets for rest purposes.
ANALYSIS
Lowry has sat only one game this season and hasn't quite been up to his usual standards of late, averaging just 10.4 points and 5.4 assists over 34.0 minutes in his last five appearances. The veteran will get a breather Thursday to recharge the batteries and figures to be back in action Saturday versus the Spurs.
Dec 15, 2022
Hits four threes in win
Lowry contributed 14 points (5-10 FG, 4-9 3Pt), three rebounds and six assists over 29 minutes during Wednesday's 110-108 win over Oklahoma City.
ANALYSIS
Lowry got off to a solid start Wednesday with 11 first-half points on 4-of-6 shooting from the field before adding just one more bucket for three points in the second half. The Miami point guard also dished out three of his six assists in the fourth quarter, one of which led to a three from Tyler Herro to tie the game up with under two minutes left. Lowry has posted at least six dimes in four of his last five contests, though he did log his second-lowest minutes total of the season with 29.
Dec 11, 2022
39 minutes in return
Lowry chipped in 12 points (4-7 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three rebounds, seven assists and two steals over 39 minutes during Saturday's 115-111 loss to San Antonio.
ANALYSIS
After sitting out for rest, Lowry played big minutes and produced solid numbers in the loss. It was the second straight game he recorded multiple steals. While his scoring can be a bit up and down, the veteran guard has certainly provided a ton of value this season with 6.1 assists, 1.2 steals, 2.3 three-pointers made and an excellent 85.4% from the charity stripe.
Dec 10, 2022
Returns to starting lineup
Lowry will start Saturday's contest against the Spurs after resting in the team's previous game.
ANALYSIS
As expected, Lowry will return to the starting five for Saturday's game and will send Dru Smith back to the second unit. Lowry has averaged 14.4 points, 6.0 assists and 5.0 rebounds in 36.3 minutes per game this season.
Dec 9, 2022
Off injury report
Lowry (rest) is off the injury report for Saturday's game against the Spurs.
ANALYSIS
As expected, Lowry will be back after a one-game absence for rest. Over the past 10 games, the veteran has averaged 15.6 points, 6.8 assists, 5.7 rebounds and 1.3 steals in 37.8 minutes.
Dec 8, 2022
Out for rest Thursday
Lowry is out for rest Thursday against the Clippers.
ANALYSIS
With the Heat getting a bit healthier, the coaching staff feels confident giving Lowry the night off for rest. It will be the veteran's first missed game of the season. He's struggled with his efficiency, shooting 39.6 percent from the field and 34.7 percent from deep, but Lowry is providing fantasy managers with a quality 14.4 points, 6.0 assists, 5.0 rebounds and 1.2 steals in 36.3 minutes. In his absence, more minutes may be available for Caleb Martin, Victor Oladipo (knee) and Duncan Robinson (ankle).
Dec 6, 2022
Starting Tuesday
Lowry (ankle) is in the starting lineup Tuesday against Detroit.
ANALYSIS
The veteran will retain his spot in the starting five despite being tabbed questionable pregame with an ankle injury. Lowery has averaged 16.4 points, 6.9 assists and 5.7 rebounds dating back to Nov. 18.
Dec 6, 2022
Plans to play Tuesday
Lowry (ankle) will warm ahead of Tuesday's game against the Pistons with the intent to play, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
Lowry is still officially listed as questionable but is likely to play Tuesday with left ankle soreness. Lowry is averaging 14.6 points, 6.0 assists, 4.9 rebounds and 1.0 steals in 36.4 minutes across 24 games this season.
Dec 6, 2022
Questionable Tuesday
Lowry is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Pistons due to left ankle discomfort.
ANALYSIS
The Heat have one of the longest injury reports in the league, so fantasy managers should keep an eye on things as tipoff approaches. If Lowry is sidelined, more minutes could be in store for Gabe Vincent (knee) and Caleb Martin.
Dec 3, 2022
Posts 20 points in win
Lowry amassed 20 points (8-13 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds and four assists in 39 minutes before fouling out of Friday's 120-116 overtime victory over the Celtics.
ANALYSIS
Lowry scored 15 of his 20 points after halftime before fouling out in the overtime period. It was just the fifth time in 23 games that he scored at least 20 points. Four of those performances have come in his last eight games and he's averaging 17.4 points per game since Nov. 16 after scoring just 13.1 points per contest before that. The 36-year-old is getting plenty of playing time and his 36.5 minutes per game are his most since 2016-17.
Nov 23, 2022
Stays hot from deep
Lowry accumulated 28 points (7-12 FG, 5-6 3Pt, 9-9 FT), six rebounds, three assists and one block over 35 minutes during Wednesday's 113-105 win over Washington.
ANALYSIS
Lowry tied his best performance of the season by scoring a season-high 28 points, tying his best mark of five made triples in a game. He's drilled nine of his last 17 attempts from beyond the arc over his last two contests, resulting in back-to-back nights of 20-plus points.
Nov 19, 2022
Enjoys huge night
Lowry contributed 24 points (8-23 FG, 4-11 3Pt, 4-6 FT), 10 rebounds, 15 assists, two blocks and one steal in 51 minutes during Friday's 107-106 overtime loss to the Wizards.
ANALYSIS
Lowry secured his first triple-double of the 2022-23 season by dishing out a season-high 15 assists. He didn't have a great shooting night, but he shot a respectable 4-for-11 from downtown, marking his second straight game with four made triples. Lowry is averaging 15.0 points, 5.9 rebounds and 6.4 assists over his last seven contests.
Nov 17, 2022
Enjoys nice shooting night
Lowry finished with 19 points (6-9 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 3-4 FT), one rebound, two assists, one block and one steal over 36 minutes during Wednesday's 112-104 loss to the Raptors.
ANALYSIS
Lowry ended the night second on his team in scoring behind Max Strus, and he also found success from beyond the arc, where he'd shot just 3-for-11 over his last two games. Lowry also recorded another block Wednesday, marking his third swat in four contests. The veteran guard is averaging 14.2 points, 5.0 rebounds and 5.4 assists over his last five games, but his production in both rebounds and assists has been hit or miss in the early going of this 2022-23 season.
Nov 13, 2022
Flirts with triple-double in win
Lowry closed with 12 points (5-12 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 1-1 FT), 11 rebounds, eight assists and one block across 32 minutes during Saturday's 132-115 win over Charlotte.
ANALYSIS
Lowry struggled from three-point range, but that was really his only shortcoming in the blowout victory. The veteran point guard grabbed a season-high 11 boards to finish with his first double-double of the campaign and also tied for the team lead with eight assists. Lowry's scoring and shooting efficiency are both down a bit this season, but Saturday's performance was a reminder that he still has gas left in the tank.
Nov 8, 2022
Turns in strong all-around line
Lowry had 15 points (5-8 FG, 4-6 3PT, 1-1 FT), seven rebounds, and eight assists over 35 minutes during Monday's 110-107 loss to the Trail Blazers.
ANALYSIS
Lowry had a nice night from beyond the arc, falling just one triple shy of his season high which came Oct. 26, also against Portland. The veteran point guard has also been meshing well with his teammates on the offensive end of late, averaging 6.6 assists over his last seven games.
Nov 3, 2022
Scores 22 points in win
Lowry finished with 22 points (8-14 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 4-5 FT), five rebounds, seven assists and two steals across 38 minutes during Wednesday's 110-107 victory over the Kings.
ANALYSIS
Lowry led the way in scoring for the Heat to open the game, scoring 12 points in the first quarter on 4-of-5 shooting. After missing his first field goal attempt of the contest, the Heat point guard went on to knock down six consecutive shots and finished the first half with 17 points. Lowry also came up big for Miami in the fourth quarter, dishing out three assists in the period, including one to Max Strus for three to put the Heat up 103-99 with 1:43 left in the game. It was Lowry's first game of the season with 20 or more points and he'll look to keep that momentum going into Friday night's matchup against the Pacers in Indiana.
Nov 1, 2022
Nudges double-double Tuesday
Lowry recorded 13 points (5-10 FG, 3-8 3Pt), five rebounds and nine assists in 37 minutes during Tuesday's 116-109 win over the Warriors.
ANALYSIS
Lowry handed out a season-high nine assists in the win, continuing to turn things around after a somewhat poor start to the season. His production over the past seven games has been eerily consistent, something that fantasy managers have to be thrilled about. While he is unlikely to have any massive explosions this season, his reliability can be just as key, especially for those who may have taken a couple of risks early in their drafts.
Oct 25, 2022
Struggles against former team
Lowry posted seven points (1-8 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 4-4 FT), three rebounds and two assists over 36 minutes during Monday's 98-90 loss to Toronto.
ANALYSIS
After finishing with at least 17 points and six assists in back-to-back contests, Lowry fell flat against his former team. The veteran point guard's offensive inconsistencies have become more frequent since joining Miami, but he's still a solid producer when he's at his best. Across four appearances this season, Lowry is averaging 10.8 points, 4.5 assists, 3.5 rebounds and 1.3 steals in 35.3 minutes.
Oct 22, 2022
Improves despite loss
Lowry had 17 points (4-13 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 6-8 FT), four rebounds, six assists, one block and three steals over 33 minutes during Friday's 111-104 loss to the Celtics.
ANALYSIS
Coming off a two-point dud to open his season, Lowry was one of five Heat players to log 17-plus points Friday. While he was still inefficient, he was Miami's top facilitator, and his eight free-throw attempts marked a healthy total. The 36-year-old settling into consistent production is a trend to monitor.
Oct 11, 2022
Back at practice Tuesday
Lowry practiced Tuesday, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
Lowry, along with numerous teammates, rested during Monday's exhibition against the Grizzlies but returned to practiced Tuesday. It's unclear if the veteran point guard will suit up for Wednesday's preseason finale, but there's been no indication he'll miss the regular-season opener against against the Bulls on Oct. 19.
Oct 10, 2022
Resting once again
Lowry (rest) won't suit up for Monday's preseason contest against the Grizzlies, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
The veteran point guard will be rested alongside Jimmy Butler and Bam Adebayo for a second consecutive preseason game. Miami begins its regular season October 19 against the Bulls.
Oct 6, 2022
Resting Friday
Lowry (rest) won't play against the Grizzlies on Friday, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Lowry will sit out Friday along with Bam Adebayo and Jimmy Butler, as they all rest following their preseason contest Thursday against the Nets. The veteran guard recorded 15 points in 24 minutes of action Thursday.
May 30, 2022
Stuffs stat sheet in loss
Lowry logged 15 points (4-12 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 6-9 FT), seven rebounds, three assists, one block and two steals across 39 minutes during Sunday's 100-96 loss to Boston in Game 7 of the Eastern Conference Finals.
ANALYSIS
The veteran contributed across the board in this loss, but he wasn't sharp from the field and needed 12 shots to score 15 points. Lowry had quite a few injury issues throughout the playoffs and averaged just 7.8 points with 4.7 assists per game in the postsesaon.
May 29, 2022
Available for Game 7
Lowry (hamstring) is available for Sunday's Game 7 against the Celtics, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Lowry carried a questionable designation once again prior to Sunday's winner-take-all matchup, but he'll continue to play through his hamstring injury. Over his four appearances since returning to the court, the 36-year-old has averaged 8.0 points, 2.8 rebounds and 4.5 assists in 28.0 minutes per game.
May 28, 2022
Questionable Sunday
Lowry (hamstring) is questionable for Sunday's Game 7 against the Celtics.
ANALYSIS
Lowry probably isn't at much risk of missing the do-or-die game despite the questionable tag. He struggled through Games 3, 4 and 5 but exploded for 18 points, 10 assists, four rebounds, one steal and one block across 37 minutes in Game 6.
May 28, 2022
Bounces back in must-win game
Lowry ended with 18 points (5-14 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds, 10 assists, one block and one steal across 37 minutes before fouling out of Friday's 111-103 win over the Celtics in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Finals.
ANALYSIS
Lowry had been awful so far in the series, but he stepped his game up right when Miami needed him the most. The veteran point guard posted his first double-double of the series and while he's not expected to put up these numbers on a regular basis, any sort of improvement will be an upgrade considering he averaged 4.7 points and 2.7 assists per tilt, but shooting 21.7 percent from the field and committing 2.3 turnovers per game, through the first three games of the series.
May 27, 2022
Will play, start Game 6
Lowry (hamstring) will play and start Friday's Game 6 against the Celtics, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Lowry has been awful in the past three games while playing through a hamstring injury. He's just 5-of-23 from the field for 14 points and eight assists, plus seven turnovers. Still, coach Erik Spoelstra may go down with the ship on this one. At the very least, Lowry will be getting his usual start. If he continues to struggle, Gabe Vincent and Caleb Martin could see heavier workloads in the second half.
May 26, 2022
Should be available for Game 6
Head coach Erik Spoelstra said Thursday that Lowry (hamstring) is expected to be available for Friday's Game 6 against Boston, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
Lowry is still officially listed as questionable for Friday, but Spoelstra indicated that all of the Heat players that played in Game 5 would likely be available again for Game 6. Each player's status will be officially determined closer to game time, but at this point it appears that Lowry is on track to play.
May 26, 2022
Questionable for Game 6
Lowry (hamstring) is questionable for Friday's Game 6 at Boston.
ANALYSIS
Lowry has played in each of the last three games after missing Games 1 and 2, but he's looked like a shell of himself, scoring just 14 total points on a combined 5-of-23 shooting. The veteran was especially bad in Wednesday's Game 5, finishing scoreless -- with some ugly-looking attempts -- in 25 minutes of action while also failing to record an assist or steal. Chances are, Lowry will continue to play through the strained hamstring, but if he struggles early on, it wouldn't be surprising if coach Erik Spoelstra is forced to go away from the 36-year-old.
May 26, 2022
Nearly invisible in Game 5 loss
Lowry closed with zero points (0-6 FG, 0-5 3Pt) and one rebound over 25 minutes during Wednesday's 93-80 loss to the Celtics in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Finals.
ANALYSIS
Lowry is trying to battle through a hamstring injury that is clearly affecting his play, so it's commendable that he was able to log 25 points Wednesday. Nonetheless, the veteran point guard did almost nothing positive during his time on the court, going 0-for-6 from the field and failing to log an assist while turning the ball over three times and committing five fouls. Backup point guard Gabe Vincent scored 15 points in 23 minutes, and the Heat may need to turn to him for more court time in Game 6 if they are to avoid elimination.
May 25, 2022
Available for Game 5
Lowry (hamstring) is available for Wednesday's Game 5 against the Celtics.
ANALYSIS
Lowry is dealing with a persistent hamstring issue but will play for the third game in a row after missing four straight. In his past four playoff appearances, he's averaged just 5.0 points, 4.5 assists, 3.3 rebounds and 1.8 steals in 26.3 minutes.
May 24, 2022
Questionable for Game 5
Lowry (hamstring) is questionable for Wednesday's Game 5 against the Celtics, Marc J. Spears of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Lowry has played in the past two games but has struggled offensively, totaling 14 points, eight assists, six rebounds, four steals and two blocks in 50 minutes while shooting 5-for-17 from the field. It's unlikely he's fully healthy but could certainly continue playing through the issue.
May 23, 2022
Set to play Monday
Lowry (hamstring) will be available for Monday's Game 4 against Boston.
ANALYSIS
As expected, Lowry will be available for the second straight game, even as he continues to be nagged by a hamstring issue. The veteran, who had 11 points and six assists in Game 3, will likely be tasked with carrying more of the offensive burden in the absence of Tyler Herro (groin).
May 23, 2022
On track to play Monday
Lowry (hamstring) is trending toward playing in Monday night's Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Finals against Boston.
ANALYSIS
Miami continues to push the limits of postseason injury reporting, but Lowry's hamstring issue is something that's bothered him throughout the playoffs. He missed a string of four straight games prior to Saturday's Game 3, which he started and finished with 11 points, six assists and four steals in 29 minutes. With Tyler Herro (groin) ruled out Monday, Lowry could be set for a larger workload.
May 22, 2022
Back on injury report for Game 4
Lowry (hamstring) is questionable for Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Finals against the Celtics on Monday, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
Lowry missed four straight playoff games before returning to the court for Game 3 on Saturday, and he produced 11 points (4-11 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 1-1 FT), one rebounds, six assists and four steals in 29 minutes. The 36-year-old hasn't fully recovered from the hamstring strain, leaving his status in question for Game 4. Gabe Vincent (hamstring) started at the point during Lowry's absence but is also questionable for Monday.
May 21, 2022
Playing, starting Saturday
Lowry (hamstring) will play and start in Saturday's Game 3 against the Celtics, Keith Smith of Spotrac.com reports.
ANALYSIS
As expected, Lowry will make his series debut after missing the past four playoff games with a persistent hamstring issue. Lowry has appeared in only five playoff games, averaging 6.2 points, 5.2 assists, 3.6 rebounds and 1.0 steals while shooting just 29.7 percent from the field. His return will send Gabe Vincent back to the bench.
May 21, 2022
On track to play Saturday
Coach Erik Spoelstra said Lowry (hamstring) will warm up "with the intention to play" ahead of Saturday's Game 3 against Boston, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Lowry missed the last four games due to his hamstring injury but traveled with the team to Boston ahead of Game 3. The 36-year-old is expected to take on a starting role if he's ultimately available, which would likely push Gabe Vincent (hamstring) to the bench. Over his first five playoff appearances this year, Lowry averaged 6.2 points, 3.6 rebounds and 5.2 assists in 28.8 minutes per game.
May 20, 2022
Questionable for Game 3
Lowry (hamstring) is questionable for Saturday's Game 3 against Boston, Tim Reynolds of the Associated Press reports.
ANALYSIS
Lowry has missed Miami's last four games due to the hamstring issue, and while he did travel with the team to Boston ahead of Game 3, it's still unclear if he'll be available to take the court against the Celtics on Saturday. If he ultimately remains sidelined for Game 3, Gabe Vincent (hamstring) would likely draw another start in his place.
May 18, 2022
Remains out for Game 2
Lowry (hamstring) has been ruled out for Thursday's Game 2 against the Celtics.
ANALYSIS
Lowry has dealt with a sore left hamstring for most of the playoffs, and he'll be forced to miss a fourth consecutive game. Gabe Vincent (hamstring) should draw another start for Miami if he's available for Game 2, while Lowry's next chance to return will be Saturday.
May 16, 2022
Ruled out for Game 1
Lowry (hamstring) is listed as out for Tuesday's Game 1 against Boston.
ANALYSIS
As anticipated, Lowry will remain out for at least one more contest as he continues to battle the sore left hamstring that's plagued him for much of the postseason. This will be Lowry's seventh missed game since the start of the playoffs and his third consecutive absence. Expect Gabe Vincent to make another start at point guard in the veteran's absence.
May 16, 2022
Not practicing Monday
Lowry (hamstring) didn't practice Monday, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
Lowry did manage to do some individual work on the side Monday according to head coach Erik Spoelstra, but after missing the last two days of practice, it appears he's unlikely to play in Tuesday's Game 1 against the Celtics. His official status for Tuesday will be clearer when Miami releases their official injury report, but for now it seems likely that he'll remain sidelined.
May 15, 2022
Doesn't practice Sunday
Lowry (hamstring) didn't practice Sunday, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
Lowry missed the final two games of the second-round series against the 76ers and has been absent for six of Miami's last eight contests due to the hamstring issue. His status for Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals will become clearer when the Heat release their official injury report.
May 11, 2022
Remains out for Game 6
Lowry (hamstring) will travel with the team to Philadelphia on Wednesday, but he won't play in Thursday's Game 6, Tim Reynolds of the Associated Press reports.
ANALYSIS
Lowry will miss a second consecutive game and his sixth over the last eight games due to a hamstring issue. In his absence, Gabe Vincent will likely draw another start, but Victor Oladipo is also expected to continue garnering an increased role off the bench.
May 10, 2022
Ruled out for Game 5
Lowry (hamstring) will not play in Tuesday's Game 5 against the 76ers, Chris Haynes of Yahoo Sports reports.
ANALYSIS
As of Monday afternoon, it seemed as though Lowry was hoping to play through the hamstring injury that's plagued him since Round 1, but after tweaking it in Game 4 on Sunday he'll miss at least one contest. This is, of course, a major loss for a Heat team that's struggled mightily over the last two games since Joel Embiid returned to action for the Sixers. Gabe Vincent (knee) will likely get the start at point guard in Lowry's place.
May 9, 2022
Questionable for Game 5
Lowry reinjured his left hamstring during Sunday's Game 4 loss to the 76ers and is considered questionable to play in Tuesday's Game 5, Nick Freidell of ESPN reports. "We'll see," Lowry said when asked about his Game 5 status. "... Tough timing for a hamstring. I've never had a soft tissue [injury]. This goal is to be out there. So if you're asking if I'm gonna try and play, yes, I'll be trying to play Game 5."
ANALYSIS
It's unclear exactly when Lowry may have tweaked the hamstring, which kept him out of four games earlier in the playoffs, but he did return to the locker room during the second quarter. Lowry ultimately came back in and played much of the second half, but he was seated on the bench for the final nine minutes and 42 seconds of the game. The veteran finished with six points (3-10 FG, 0-6 3Pt), seven assists, three rebounds and two steals in 30 minutes of action. Speaking postgame, Lowry said that he does not anticipate undergoing another MRI, but he'll likely receive plenty of treatment over the next two days leading up to Tuesday night's tip. If Lowry is ultimately unable to play, Gabe Vincent would likely slide back into the lineup at point guard.
May 8, 2022
Available Sunday
Lowry (hamstring) is available for Sunday's Game 4 against the 76ers, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
Lowry was questionable once again prior to Sunday's matchup, but he'll play through his strained left hamstring for a second straight game. He played 25 minutes in his return to the court Friday, and he could see increased minutes Sunday.
May 7, 2022
Questionable for Game 4
Lowry (hamstring) is questionable for Sunday's Game 4 against the 76ers.
ANALYSIS
Lowry played 25 minutes in his return from a four-game absence stemming from a strained left hamstring. He didn't make much of an impact, as he went scoreless with four rebounds, three assists and a steal as the Heat lost 99-79. If available Sunday, he could see his workload increased.
May 7, 2022
Scoreless in return
Lowry totaled zero points (0-4 FG, 0-2 3Pt), four rebounds, three assists and one steal over 25 minutes during Friday's 99-79 loss to the 76ers.
ANALYSIS
Lowry returned to the starting lineup following a four-game absence due to a hamstring injury, but the veteran point guard looked hesitant offensively and turned in his third scoreless outing of the season. The return of Joel Embiid has shifted the momentum after it looked like the Heat would run away with the series, so Miami will need Lowry at his best if they hope to avoid returning home tied 2-2.
May 6, 2022
Officially playing, starting
Lowry (hamstring) will play and start during Friday's Game 3 against the 76ers, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Lowry is back with the starters following a four-game absence. It's possible he doesn't see a full complement of minutes given the relatively long layoff and sensitive nature of hamstring injuries. During his three playoff appearances, he's averaged 8.3 points, 5.3 assists, 3.7 rebounds and 1.0 blocks in 29.7 minutes.
May 6, 2022
Expected to play
Lowry (hamstring) is expected to play during Friday's Game 3 against the 76ers, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
Lowry will "warm up with the intention of playing" which is Heat-speak for "available". The veteran last played during Game 3 of the first-round series against the Hawks, so it wouldn't be surprising if he was on a minutes limit Friday. His return could also mean reduced workloads for Gabe Vincent, Victor Oladipo and Caleb Martin.
May 5, 2022
Questionable for Game 3
Lowry (hamstring) is questionable for Friday's Game 3 at Philadelphia.
ANALYSIS
Lowry has missed the past four games with the left hamstring strain. He'll presumably test things out on gameday to determine if he can return. If the veteran is back for Game 3, he could be on a minutes limit, and it's possible he'd come off the bench.
May 3, 2022
Will remain out for Game 2
Lowry (hamstring) will not play in Wednesday's Game 2 against the 76ers, Chris Haynes of Yahoo Sports reports.
ANALYSIS
Lowry missed the final two games of Miami's first-round series against Atlanta, as well as Monday's Game 1 against Philly, so this will be his fourth consecutive absence as he continues to deal with a hamstring injury. The Heat appear to be handling the veteran's status on a game-to-game basis, so he should be considered questionable for Friday's Game 3 in Philadelphia. Expect Gabe Vincent to make another start in Lowry's place Wednesday.
May 1, 2022
Out for Game 1
Lowry (hamstring) has been ruled out for Monday's Game 1 against the 76ers, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
Lowry suffered the hamstring injury during Game 3 against the Hawks and missed the final two games of the series, and he'll remain out for the opener versus the 76ers. Gabe Vincent and Victor Oladipo figure to continue seeing more playing time in his absence.
Apr 29, 2022
Sidelined for Friday's practice
Lowry (hamstring) didn't practice Friday.
ANALYSIS
Lowry left Game 3 with a hamstring injury and was sidelined for the next two contests, but the Heat were still able to advance to the second round. However, the point guard is clearly still dealing with some pain and could be in jeopardy of missing Game 1 against the 76ers. Lowry's status will likely become clearer when Miami releases its first injury report for Monday.
Apr 25, 2022
Ruled out for Game 5
Lowry (hamstring) has been ruled out for Tuesday's Game 5 against the Hawks.
ANALYSIS
Lowry left Friday's Game 3 loss with a hamstring injury and will now miss a second consecutive contest due to the issue. In his absence, Gabe Vincent (toe) and Caleb Martin (ankle) should see more playing time. However, Victor Oladipo -- who played his first minutes of the series in Game 4 -- could also continue to garner an increased role while Lowry is sidelined.
Apr 24, 2022
Won't play Sunday
Lowry (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's Game 5 against the Heat, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Lowry left Friday's Game 4 loss due to a hamstring injury and wasn't able to practice Saturday, so the point guard's absence doesn't come as much of a surprise. In his place, Gabe Vincent (toe), Duncan Robinson and Caleb Martin (ankle) should see increased run. It's also possible Victor Oladipo -- who hasn't played yet in the series -- could enter the mix while Lowry is sidelined.
Apr 23, 2022
Questionable Sunday
Lowry (hamstring) is questionable for Sunday's Game 4 against the Hawks.
ANALYSIS
Lowry failed to practice Saturday and was seen walking slowly with a limp. The Heat are liberal with listing players as questionable, but it seems like Lowry's status may actually be a 50/50 shot, and his availability may come down to a game-time call. If he sits out, Gabe Vincent, Duncan Robinson and Caleb Martin are candidates to see more minutes.
Apr 23, 2022
Doesn't practice Saturday
Lowry (hamstring) did not practice Saturday and was seen walking slowly with a limp. His status for Sunday's Game 4 at Atlanta is to be determined later Saturday, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
Things aren't looking great for the veteran ahead of Game 4, but we'll know more later Saturday. If Lowry is forced to sit out, more minutes would be available for Gabe Vincent, Duncan Robinson and Caleb Martin. It's also possible Victor Oladipo could get into the mix. He hasn't played yet in the series.
Apr 23, 2022
Game 4 status up in air
Lowry's early exit from Friday's 111-110 loss to the Hawks is the result of a hamstring injury and his status for Sunday's Game 4 is uncertain, Shandel Richardson of Sports Illustrated reports.
ANALYSIS
Lowry is expected to receive around-the-clock treatment ahead of Sunday's matchup. The game tips off at 7:00 p.m. ET, so expect more clarity on his status as game-time approaches. If he is ultimately unable to go, Tyler Herro and Jimmy Butler would presumably take on more ball handling responsibilities, while the likes of Gabe Vincent and Victor Oladipo could potentially see some run in the rotation.
Apr 22, 2022
Will not return
Lowry will not return to Friday's game against the Hawks due to a left leg injury.
ANALYSIS
The severity of Lowry's injury is unknown at this time. In his absence, Tyler Herro figures to see more time running the point, while Gabe Vincent could also see some run. Game 4 between the Heat and Hawks will be Sunday.
Apr 10, 2022
Resting in finale
Lowry is out Sunday against the Magic for rest purposes, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
The Heat have already clinched the top seed in the Eastern Conference, so Lowry will get a breather for the regular-season finale. Gabe Vincent (toe) and Victor Oladipo could see additional run Sunday.
Apr 9, 2022
Efficient performance in return
Lowry amassed 16 points (7-10 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 0-1 FT), five rebounds, three assists and two steals over 31 minutes during Friday's 113-109 victory over Atlanta.
ANALYSIS
Lowry returned to the starting lineup following a one-game absence due to rest and provided an all-around performance. Across his last 10 appearances, the veteran point guard has averaged 17.4 points, 6.0 assists, 3.4 rebounds and 1.0 steals in 31.8 minutes per game.
Apr 5, 2022
Out vs. Hornets
Lowry (rest) is out Tuesday against the Hornets, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Lowry is missing Tuesday's game due to general soreness following 14 straight appearances. His absence should allow more minutes for Gabe Vincent (toe), Victor Oladipo and Caleb Martin (calf).
Apr 4, 2022
Questionable with 'sore body'
Lowry (soreness) is questionable for Tuesday's game against Charlotte.
ANALYSIS
The veteran has played in every game since March 7, so it looks like Miami may be considering giving him a night off with the playoffs approaching. A decision likely won't be made until closer to game-time Tuesday.
Apr 4, 2022
Posts double-double
Lowry amassed 16 points (4-8 FG, 2-4 3PT, 6-7 FT), 10 assists, six rebounds and one steal in a 114-109 victory over Toronto on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Lowry recorded his second straight double-double and 15th of the season. The veteran guard has eclipsed double-digit points in nine of his last 11 contests and has dished six-plus assists in four straight. The Villanova product has been turning things up as Miami makes its push to lock up the Eastern Conference's top seed.
Apr 3, 2022
Double-double against Bulls
Lowry ended Saturday's 127-109 win over the Bulls with 19 points (6-11 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 5-5 FT), two rebounds and 10 assists over 27 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Facing his former Raptor running mate DeMar DeRozan, Lowry put together his first double-double since returning to the lineup in early March and his 15th of the season. Lowry appears to be finding his groove just in time for the playoffs, and over his last eight games he's averaging 17.8 points, 5.9 assists, 4.0 threes, 2.9 boards and 0.9 steals.
Mar 31, 2022
Scores 23 in win at Boston
Lowry supplied 23 points (8-16 FG, 6-12 3Pt, 1-2 FT) and eight assists across 36 minutes during Wednesday's 106-98 victory over the Celtics.
ANALYSIS
Coming off of a quiet night against the Kings on Monday (nine points, six assists, five rebounds), Lowry bounced back with a strong effort, drilling six three-pointers and adding eight assists in 36 minutes of action. Over his last seven games, Lowry is averaging 17.6 points, 4.3 threes and 5.3 assists while shooting 55.3 percent from the floor (50.8% 3Pt).
Mar 22, 2022
Hits 20-point mark
Lowry produced 20 points (7-13 FG, 6-11 3Pt), six rebounds, six assists, one block and one steal in 36 minutes during Monday's 113-106 loss to the 76ers.
ANALYSIS
Lowry was having a rough stretch during the first half of March but seems to be bouncing back of late, as he's now scored in double digits in three of his last four contests. This was the first time he reached the 20-point mark since Feb. 17, when he had 25 points in a win over the Hornets. The veteran floor general is only averaging 9.1 points per game while shooting 40.4 percent from the floor across seven appearances in March, but he seems to be trending in the right direction.
Mar 16, 2022
Woeful stretch continues Tuesday
Lowry closed Tuesday's 105-98 victory over Detroit with six points (0-3 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 6-6 FT), seven rebounds and four assists across 34 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Lowry was unable to build off a somewhat encouraging performance Saturday, dropping another dud in Tuesday's win. In five games since returning from his hiatus, Lowry is averaging 5.6 points, 5.2 rebounds, 7.2 assists and 0.2 steals per game. Obviously, he is going to be better than this, but with the Heat only playing once more this week, managers in their playoffs could certainly be forgiven for moving off the veteran in competitive leagues.
Mar 13, 2022
Posts 14/7/7 line in loss
Lowry ended Saturday's 113-104 loss to the Timberwolves with 14 points (4-12 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 4-6 FT), seven rebounds and seven assists over 37 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Lowry's peripheral numbers bolstered a mediocre night of shooting. Despite his cold stroke, it was an encouraging sign of life for Lowry, who scored only eight points over three games after a four-game absence.
Mar 12, 2022
Scoring disappearing
Lowry posted three points (1-4 FG, 1-4 3Pt), 10 assists, four rebounds and one block across 32 minutes in Friday's 117-105 win over the Cavaliers.
ANALYSIS
With a 25:8 assist-to-turnover ration in his three games since returning from a four-game absence due to a personal matter, Lowry has met expectations as a distributor, but his already downward-trending scoring during his first year in Miami has plunged to a greater depth. Despite clearing 30 minutes in each of his first three games back in action, Lowry has totaled eight combined points on 20 percent shooting from the field. Lowry's scoring should bounce back to some degree once his field-goal percentage aligns with his season-long mark (42 percent), but it's clear that all of Jimmy Butler, Tyler Herro and Bam Adebayo are going to be greater priorities for the Heat when it comes to getting buckets.
Mar 8, 2022
Gets cardio in during return
Lowry had zero points (0-3 FG, 0-3 3Pt), three rebounds and five assists over 32 minutes during Monday's 123-106 victory over Houston.
ANALYSIS
Lowry was once again unaggressive during his return from a four-game absence due to personal reasons. Last time he missed multiple contests due to personal reasons, he produced two points (0-1 FG, 2-2 FT), four assists, three rebounds, one steal and six turnovers across 25 minutes during his first game back. However, over the following eight contests, he averaged 14.6 points, 6.4 assists, 5.6 rebounds and 2.0 steals in 36.0 minutes. The veteran point guard will likely bounce back Wednesday against the Suns after getting his legs under him during Monday's win.
Mar 7, 2022
Back in starting five
Lowry (personal) is starting Monday's game against Houston.
ANALYSIS
This simply confirms that Lowry will be back in action Monday after a four-game absence while tending to a personal matter. Gabe Vincent will move back to a bench role as a result.
Mar 7, 2022
Likely available Monday
Lowry (personal) is warming up with the intention of playing in Monday's matchup with the Rockets, Marc J. Spears of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
As expected, Lowry will likely be available after returning to the team early Monday following another multi-game absence due to a personal matter. Over his last eight appearances, the point guard has averaged 14.6 points, 6.4 assists, 5.6 rebounds and 1.0 steals in 36.0 minutes per game.
Mar 7, 2022
Moved to questionable Monday
Lowry (personal) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Rockets.
ANALYSIS
On Sunday afternoon, the Heat initially ruled Lowry out of Monday's game, but he's now been upgraded to questionable on the official report, which indicates that he's likely rejoined the team following another multi-game absence due to a personal matter. It's still unclear what's caused Lowry to miss 13 of Miami's last 22 games, but his status will be something to monitor closely over the next several hours. Even if he's ultimately held out, it appears the veteran is close to returning to game action. After Monday, Miami plays Wednesday (vs. PHO), Friday (vs. CLE) and Saturday (vs. MIN) to close out the week.
Mar 6, 2022
Won't play Monday
Lowry (personal) has been ruled out for Monday's contest against the Rockets, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
Lowry is slated to miss a fifth straight game due to a personal matter, and there's no indication regarding when he may return. Gabe Vincent, Max Strus and Caleb Martin (Achilles) remain candidates for increased usage.
Mar 4, 2022
Still out Saturday
Lowry (personal) is out Saturday against the 76ers, Tim Reynolds of the Associated Press reports.
ANALYSIS
Lowry will miss a fourth straight game due to a personal matter, and there's no indication regarding when he may return. Gabe Vincent, Max Strus and Caleb Martin remain candidates to see extra usage.
Mar 3, 2022
Remains out Thursday
Lowry (personal) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Nets.
ANALYSIS
Lowry will be sidelined for a third consecutive game due to personal reasons. Gabe Vincent, Max Strus (shoulder), Tyler Herro and Caleb Martin (Achilles) could see additional run once again Thursday.
Mar 1, 2022
Won't play Wednesday
Lowry (personal) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Bucks, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
Lowry, who missed nine games at the end of January due to personal reasons, will remain out for a second consecutive contest due to personal issues. It's unclear if the two absences are related, or if he's expected to miss as many games as he did last time. Either way, the Heat will presumably continue to treat the point guard's status on a game-by-game basis. In his absence, Gabe Vincent, Max Strus, Tyler Herro and Caleb Martin (Achilles) are all candidates for increased usage.
Feb 27, 2022
Won't play Monday
Lowry has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Bulls due to personal reasons, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
Lowry sat out the second half of January and missed nine games for personal reasons, and he'll be sidelined again for Monday's contest. It's unclear if he's expected to miss multiple games this time around, but his next chance to take the court will come Wednesday at Milwaukee. Gabe Vincent, Max Strus and Caleb Martin should see more run in his absence for Miami.
Feb 26, 2022
Double-doubles in win
Lowry totaled 13 points (4-8 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, 10 assists and one steal across 35 minutes during Saturday's 133-129 victory over San Antonio.
ANALYSIS
Lowry notched his first double-double in over two weeks, helping the Heat to a hard-fought victory over a tenacious Spurs outfit. His offensive output has been down this season, something managers should have expected given the talent around him on the floor. That being said, he has overcome a mediocre start to the season to now be a highly-reliable source of assists, steals and triples. To top things off, Lowry remains an excellent rebounder from the point guard position.
Feb 18, 2022
No limit Lowry
Lowry registered 25 points (9-16 FG, 6-11 3Pt, 1-2 FT), nine rebounds, five assists and two steals over 46 minutes during Thursday's 111-107 double-overtime win over the Hornets.
ANALYSIS
Lowry was in vintage form Thursday, hitting clutch threes, driving and finishing in traffic, all while orchestrating a Miami win. Jimmy Butler (5-of-24 shooting) shifted plenty of burden to Lowry's shoulders and the 35-year-old answered. Lowry is averaging 16.3 points, 6.8 rebounds and 6.5 assists over his last four contests.
Feb 16, 2022
Extends double-digit scoring run
Lowry ended Tuesday's 107-99 loss to the Mavericks with 13 points (4-8 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 3-4 FT), four rebounds, four assists and one steal in 38 minutes.
ANALYSIS
The veteran point guard has been relegated to a secondary role when it comes to scoring, but he's still contributing when he has the chance. Lowry has scored in double digits in each of his last four games, but it's worth noting he has surpassed the 15-point plateau just once since the calendar flipped to 2022. He's averaging just 10.3 points, 6.0 assists and 4.5 rebounds per game across six games in February.
Feb 11, 2022
Triple-double against Pelicans
Lowry scored 14 points (5-9 FG, 4-7 3Pt) while adding 11 rebounds, 11 assists and four steals in 36 minutes during Thursday's 112-97 win over the Pelicans.
ANALYSIS
While he left most of the scoring duties to Jimmy Butler and Bam Adebayo, Lowry led the Heat in boards, dimes and made threes on the night en route to his second triple-double of the season and the 20th of his career. After needing a few games to get his legs back after being away from the team for a couple weeks to attend to a personal matter, Lowry appears back in top form.
Feb 4, 2022
Provides morale
Lowry registered two points (0-1 FG, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, four assists and one steal across 25 minutes during Thursday's 112-95 win over the Spurs. He also had six turnovers.
ANALYSIS
Lowry returned after missing nine games due to a personal matter, but was noticeably rusty. His six turnovers matched his second halest total of the season. The context is important, as Lowry was on a minutes restriction in what turned into a blowout affair as well. He's a bounce back candidate Saturday against the Hornets.
Feb 3, 2022
Set to return Thursday
Lowry (personal) will make his return to action Thursday night against San Antonio, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
The veteran's return comes without much warning after he'd missed the previous nine games due to a private, personal matter. It appears Lowry has met the team in the San Antonio, where he'll take the floor for the first time since Jan. 15. Given the layoff, it's possible Lowry's minutes could be monitored, making him a fairly risky play in DFS contests.
Feb 2, 2022
Questionable Thursday
Lowry (personal) has been upgraded to questionable ahead of Thursday's matchup with the Spurs, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Lowry has been out since Jan. 15 while tending to a personal matter, but he has a chance at returning for Thursday's contest. If the 35-year-old is able to retake the court, Gabe Vincent and Kyle Guy are likely to see their roles dramatically downsized.
Feb 1, 2022
Still out Tuesday
Lowry (personal) won't play Tuesday against the Raptors, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
Lowry will miss a ninth straight game Tuesday due to a personal matter. Miami is currently in the midst of a six-game road trip, and it remains unclear if the point guard will be able to join the team for any of those contests. In his absence, Gabe Vincent, Tyler Herro and Kyle Guy are all expected to continue seeing increased roles.
Jan 30, 2022
Remains out Monday
Lowry (personal) won't play Monday against the Celtics, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
Lowry will miss his eighth straight game Monday due to a personal matter. Miami starts a six-game road trip Monday in Boston, and it remains unclear if the point guard will be able to join the team for any of those contests. In his absence, Gabe Vincent, Tyler Herro and Kyle Guy are all expected to continue seeing increased roles.
Jan 29, 2022
Still out Saturday
Lowry (personal) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Raptors.
ANALYSIS
Lowry will miss a seventh consecutive game due to a personal matter. Gabe Vincent, Tyler Herro and Kyle Guy are in line for increased work once again.
Jan 27, 2022
Remains out Friday
Lowry (personal) is out Friday against the Clippers.
ANALYSIS
Lowry will be unavailable for a sixth consecutive game as he continues to tend to a personal matter. Gabe Vincent, Tyler Herro and Kyle Guy should continue to handle increased work.
Jan 25, 2022
Deemed out Wednesday
Lowry (personal) won't play in Wednesday's game against New York.
ANALYSIS
This will be the veteran guard's fifth straight absence, as Lowry continues to remain away from the team with a personal issue. It remains unclear when the former Villanova standout will be back with the squad.
Jan 25, 2022
Doesn't practice Tuesday
Lowry (personal) didn't practice Tuesday, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
Lowry remains away from the team to tend to a personal matter. His status for Wednesday's contest against the Knicks is still up in the air, but he's trending towards a fifth straight absence.
Jan 22, 2022
Remains out Sunday
Lowry (personal) is out Sunday against the Lakers.
ANALYSIS
Lowry will be unavailable for a fourth straight game as he continues to tend to a personal matter. Gabe Vincent, Max Strus and Caleb Martin are in line for increased run once again.
Jan 20, 2022
Still out Friday
Lowry (personal) won't play Friday against the Hawks, Tim Reynolds of the Associated Press reports.
ANALYSIS
Lowry won't travel with the team to Atlanta and will miss his third consecutive game while tending to a personal matter. It's unclear if he'll be back for Sunday's matchup with the Lakers. Gabe Vincent, Max Strus and Caleb Martin should continue to see increased run for Miami in the meantime.
Jan 18, 2022
Remains out Wednesday
Lowry (personal) won't play Wednesday against Portland, Danny Marang of Blazers Outsiders reports.
ANALYSIS
The veteran guard will miss a second straight matchup, and the nature of his absence still remains unclear. Thus, Lowry should be considered day-to-day leading up to the Heat's next contest against the Hawks on Friday. Expect Gabe Vincent, who posted 15 points in 27 minutes Monday versus Toronto, to garner another start Wednesday.
Jan 16, 2022
Out for personal reasons
Lowry (personal) will not play in Monday's game against the Raptors, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
The nature of the absence is unclear, but Lowry will miss his first matchup against the franchise he helped lead to an NBA title in 2019. Consider the point guard day-to-day as the Heat tip off a four-game week that includes matchups against Portland (Wednesday), Atlanta (Friday) and the Lakers (Sunday).
Jan 9, 2022
Dishes 13 dimes in victory
Lowry contributed 14 points (5-10 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds and 13 assists in 35 minutes during Saturday's 123-100 win over the Suns.
ANALYSIS
Lowry has been thriving as a distributor of late, racking up 10-plus assists in six of his past nine contests. His 13 dimes Saturday were the most he has produced since Dec. 17 and were accompanied by one of his most efficient recent shooting performances. Though Lowry's scoring is down in his first season with Miami, he is averaging 8.4 dimes per contest, which puts him on pace for his best season mark since 2018-19.
Jan 5, 2022
Ejected in Portland
Lowry was ejected during the second quarter of Wednesday's game against the Trail Blazers, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Lowry picked up a pair of technical fouls during the first half and was sent to the showers after playing only 16 minutes Wednesday. He had seven points (1-4 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 4-4 FT), two rebounds nine assists and one steal and will receive some extra rest heading into Saturday's matchup with the Suns.
Jan 4, 2022
Records double-double in loss
Lowry closed with 16 points (4-13 FG, 2-9 3Pt, 6-7 FT), six rebounds, 11 assists and one steal in 39 minutes during Monday's 115-108 loss to the Warriors.
ANALYSIS
It took Lowry a while to settle into his role in Miami, but he's transformed into a nightly double-double threat due to his consistent assist numbers. He's collected double-digit assists 12 times this season, and were it not for his slow start, Lowry would be giving NBA assist leader Chris Paul a run for his money.
Dec 31, 2021
Active Friday
Lowry (COVID-19 protocols) will play Friday against the Rockets, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
The veteran point guard was initially listed as out for Friday's contest against Houston, but is now listed as available to play in Miami's contest. This is great news for a very depleted Heat roster as Lowry was only forced to miss two showings during his time in the leagues' protocols. Due to how short-handed the Heat are, it would not be surprising to see Lowry see extended usage during his return to the court
Dec 30, 2021
Out at Houston
Lowry (COVID-19 protocols) is out against the Rockets on Friday.
ANALYSIS
The NBA's injury report indicates Lowry will be unavailable again. Backup players Caleb Martin and Kyle Guy have improved chances to log many game minutes in place of the All-Star. If Jimmy Butler (ankle) becomes unavailable, fantasy managers should expect both backups starting Friday.
Dec 29, 2021
Could return Friday
Lowry (COVID-19 protocols) may be able to return for Friday's game against the Rockets, Anthong Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
Lowry had been ruled out of Wednesday's game against the Spurs, which was postponed, but his six-day quarantine period runs through Thursday, so there's a good chance he'll be able to clear protocols in time for Friday's contest. It's no guarantee, but the extremely shorthanded Heat could be getting a major reinforcement back.
Dec 25, 2021
Enters protocols
Lowry joined health and safety protocols Saturday, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Lowry has been playing well for the shorthanded Heat. Over the past 11 games, he's averaged 16.9 points, 9.5 assists and 4.4 rebounds in 36.0 minutes. However, now he's landed in protocols, so someone will have to absorb his usage. On a positive note, Jimmy Butler (tailbone) may make his return Sunday.
Dec 20, 2021
Records double-double in win
Lowry supplied 19 points (3-12 FG, 2-9 3Pt, 11-16 FT), five rebounds, 10 assists and one steal over 42 minutes during Sunday's 100-90 loss to the Pistons.
ANALYSIS
Tyler Herro (quad) and Jimmy Butler's (back) absences have allowed Lowry to show off his skills to maximum effect over the past week. The veteran has collected 25 assists over the past two games, but his shooting stroke still leaves much to be desired, going 6-of-18 over the weekend.
Dec 16, 2021
Solid overall in win
Lowry managed 14 points (4-12 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 3-4 FT), six rebounds and five assists in 39 minutes during Wednesday's 101-96 victory over the 76ers.
ANALYSIS
Wednesday's performance marked the first time in the last five games where Lowry failed to score at least 16 points. Fortunately, he impacted the game in other ways and made some clutch free throws down the stretch to ice the game for Miami. Through 26 games, Lowry is averaging 13.8 points, 8.0 assists and 4.3 rebounds across 34.2 minutes per game.
Dec 13, 2021
Records 22 points Monday
Lowry recorded 22 points (8-16 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five assists, three rebounds, one steal and one block during Monday's 105-94 loss to the Cavaliers.
ANALYSIS
This was the guard's second outing over the last three reaching the 22-point mark, as Lowry was second on the Heat behind P.J. Tucker's team-high 23 points. After Monday's solid outing, Lowry has recorded at least 20 points in seven matchups this season. Across his past three performances, Lowry is averaging 20.0 points and 10.7 assists.
Dec 9, 2021
Records double-double in win
Lowry closed with 22 points (9-21 FG, 4-13 3Pt), two rebounds, 13 assists and one steal in 39 minutes during Wednesday's win over the Bucks.
ANALYSIS
In the absence of Jimmy Butler, Lowry was able to lead the Heat's offense and record his sixth double-double of the season. The six-time All-Star has been especially productive in recent games without Butler where he has averaged 16.4 points and 9.4 assists compared to 13.0 points and 7.6 assists on the season. Lowry should continue producing this level of output as long as he is leading the Heat's offense.
Dec 6, 2021
Flirts with double-double Monday
Lowry tallied 17 points (5-9 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 6-7 FT), eight assists, four rebounds, one steal and one rebound during Monday's 105-90 loss to Memphis.
ANALYSIS
Lowry finished first amongst Heat starters with 17 points, as the veteran manufactured double digits for a third straight game. Lowery also dished out at least seven assists for a fourth time over the past five games, and the guard nearly finished with a double-double. Across 23 outings, Lowry currently leads the Heat in assists by a hefty margin, but he also leads the team in turnovers.
Dec 4, 2021
Nears double-double Friday
Lowry racked up 26 points (9-18 FG, 6-13 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds and nine assists in 38 minutes during Friday's 113-104 victory over Indiana.
ANALYSIS
Lowry shot 50 percent from the floor in Friday's victory and posted his highest scoring total of the season while leading Miami on the scoreboard. He's now scored in double figures in four of his last six appearances and has averaged 15.2 points, 7.7 assists and 4.3 rebounds in 32.8 minutes per game during that time.
Nov 30, 2021
Double-doubles in loss
Lowry supplied 17 points (5-9 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 5-6 FT), two rebounds and 14 assists over 36 minutes during Monday's 120-111 loss to the Nuggets.
ANALYSIS
The 14 dimes were a season-high mark for the veteran floor general, who has been playing better than expected since joining Miami in the offseason. He also has scored at least 15 points in three of his last four contests, and while he's not expected to become one of the team's biggest scoring threats overnight and his downgrade in scoring figures was totally expected, Lowry has still been a decent performer for most fantasy formats.
Nov 23, 2021
Well-rounded performance in win
Lowry accumulated 15 points (4-10 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 6-6 FT), six rebounds, eight assists, two blocks and two steals over 35 minutes during Tuesday's 100-92 victory over the Pistons.
ANALYSIS
Lowry's two blocks were a season high, and it was part of a great defensive effort that also included two steals. The veteran filled the rest of the stat sheet up as well. It was a good bounce-back game, as Lowry had scored in single digits across his prior two appearances.
Nov 18, 2021
Hands out 12 dimes
Lowry registered eight points (3-8 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), five rebounds, 12 assists and one steal in 35 minutes during Thursday's 112-97 win over the Wizards.
ANALYSIS
Lowry ended a streak of four games with double-digit scoring figures after resting Wednesday against the Pelicans, but he supplied that lack of scoring with a season-high mark in assists. In fact, he has dished out 10 or more dimes in four of his last seven contests. Lowry's scoring numbers will not be the same ones he had in the Raptors during his prime years, but he remains a reliable fantasy contributor due to his decent scoring and playmaking numbers.
Nov 17, 2021
Resting Wednesday
Lowry (rest) will be inactive for Wednesday's contest against the Pelicans.
ANALYSIS
The veteran point guard has seen 33 or more minutes in six straight contests for the Heat as coach Erik Spoelstra and the team opt to rest Lowry for the team's contest against New Orleans. Expect the likes of Tyler Herro, Gabe Vincent and Caleb Martin to all be candidates to receive more opportunities Wednesday night.
Nov 16, 2021
Ekes out double-double
Lowry contributed 11 pints (4-9 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 11 assists and three rebounds across 33 minutes in Monday's 103-90 win over the Thunder.
ANALYSIS
The acquisition of Lowry was a bit of a head-scratcher in the offseason, and as expected, the Heat still haven't figured out how to utilize him. His stat line on Monday is more representative of how he should contribute. The veteran turned in a season-high 11 assists in the victory.
Nov 13, 2021
Scores 21 points vs. Jazz
Lowry recorded 21 points (8-14 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 3-3 FT), six rebounds, four assists and two steals in 35 minutes during Saturday's 111-105 win over the Jazz.
ANALYSIS
Lowry's scoring has been inconsistent to start the year, but he's now posted three straight performances with at least 18 points. These most recent efforts have partially resulted from Jimmy Butler (ankle) being sidelined, so Lowry's usage will likely dip back down once Butler returns.
Nov 13, 2021
Returns to game
Lowry (face) returned to the Heat's game at Utah on Saturday, per Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald.
ANALYSIS
Lowry will try to help the Heat finish a dominant first quarter they had after his brief departure.
Nov 13, 2021
Heads to locker room
Lowry was elbowed in the face during the first quarter of Saturday's game against the Jazz and went to the locker room, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
Lowry should be considered questionable to return. If he remains out, Gabe Vincent is likely to see extra minutes.
Nov 12, 2021
Comes alive in fourth quarter
Lowry totaled 25 points (9-17 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 3-3 FT), five assists, three rebounds and two steals across 38 minutes Thursday in a loss to the Clippers.
ANALYSIS
For the first three quarters of the contest, Lowry looked lost, compiling only three points on 1-for-7 shooting from the field. The veteran point guard turned things around dramatically in the fourth, however, scoring 22 points while going 8-for-10 from the field. Lowry finished with his highest point total of the campaign and has now scored in double figures in back-to-back contests for only the second time this season.
Nov 11, 2021
Bounces back with double-double
Lowry posted 18 points (5-14 FG, 2-10 3Pt, 6-7 FT), 11 assists, six rebounds and one steal over 47 minutes in a loss to the Lakers on Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
After failing to score over 37 minutes Monday, Lowry bounced back with 18 points against Los Angeles despite once again struggling with his shot. The veteran point guard's first campaign in Miami hasn't gotten off to the best of starts, as he is averaging only 10.8 points on 38.1 percent shooting from the field. He has provided some non-scoring value, however, notching 7.5 assists, 5.3 boards and 1.2 steals per contest.
Nov 9, 2021
Puts up goose-egg in loss
Lowry logged zero points (0-8 FG, 0-6 3Pt), four assists, three rebounds, a steal and a blocked shot across 37 minutes in Monday's 113-96 loss to the Nuggets.
ANALYSIS
Lowry disappointed with a dreadful shooting night, although he provided some production in secondary categories. Lowry's shooting inconsistencies are still an issue after an encouraging burst of production in a few recent games.
Nov 6, 2021
Available vs. Jazz
Lowry (ankle) is available Saturday versus Utah.
ANALYSIS
Lowry is not sitting out any games despite suffering an ankle sprain Thursday. Instead, he will try to redeem himself Saturday after averaging 6.0 points and logging a 23.7 field-goal percentage across the Heat's previous four home games.
Nov 6, 2021
Will go through warmups
Lowry (ankle) will participate in warmups ahead of Saturday's game against the Jazz, Marc J. Spears of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Lowry is "warming up with the intent to play," though Bam Adebayo did the same thing three games ago against the Grizzlies and ended up not seeing the floor. If Lowry doesn't feel healthy enough to play, more minutes could be available for Tyler Herro, Gabe Vincent and Max Strus.
Nov 5, 2021
Questionable Saturday
Lowry (ankle) is questionable for Saturday's game against Utah.
ANALYSIS
Lowry was unable to return to Thursday's matchup with the Celtics due to the left ankle sprain, but he may not be forced to miss additional time. Tyler Herro and Gabe Vincent could see more playing time if Lowry is unable to play Saturday.
Nov 4, 2021
Won't return Thursday
Lowry (ankle) will not return to Thursday's game against the Celtics due to a sprained left ankle, Tim Reynolds of the Associated Press reports.
ANALYSIS
Lowry exited back to the locker room after his teammate, Duncan Robinson, slid into his ankle while falling to the floor. Lowry was ruled out for the game shortly afterward and his status for Saturday's contest is in serious question.
Nov 4, 2021
Goes to locker room
Lowry went to the locker room Thursday versus Boston because of a lower leg injury, per Tim Reynolds of the Associated Press.
ANALYSIS
Heat teammate Duncan Robinson fell onto Lowry's left leg during the third quarter of their game Thursday. Lowry recorded seven rebounds, five assists and three steals despite exiting following a bad 2-of-9 shooting night. He is questionable to return after limping off the court.
Nov 3, 2021
Best performance yet
Lowry posted 22 points (7-10 FG, 6-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT), nine assists and five rebounds over 36 minutes of action in a 125-110 win over the Mavericks on Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
Lowry's peripheral stat production has been consistent, and the scoring has ramped up due to a reclaimed stroke from distance. Lowry is now 10-of-14 over the previous two contests, and while that has symbolized his scoring role in the offense, it's possible he is still finding his groove in Miami. The Heat will next face the Celtics on Thursday.
Oct 30, 2021
Tough night in win over Hornets
Lowry finished Friday's win over Charlotte with four points (2-10 FG, 0-4 3Pt), six rebounds, five assists, one steal and one block.
ANALYSIS
Playing through a minor elbow issue but wasn't able to get much going on the offensive end. While the lack of scoring is a disappointment, Lowry did contribute in other categories, notching a block and a steal in the same game for the first time in a Heat uniform.
Oct 29, 2021
Good to go
Lowry (elbow) will play and start at point guard in Friday's matchup with Charlotte.
ANALYSIS
No surprise here, as Lowry was considered probable heading into the evening. Barring any setbacks, look for the veteran point guard to take on his usual role for the Heat.
Oct 28, 2021
Probable Friday
Lowry (elbow) is probable for Friday's game against the Hornets, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
Lowry dealt with an ankle injury last weekend, and he's now managing right elbow bursitis ahead of Friday's matchup. However, it appears as though he'll be able to play against Charlotte.
Oct 25, 2021
Warming up, hopes to play
Lowry (ankle) will warm up for Monday's game with the intent to play, Marc Spears of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
This amounts to Lowry essentially being a game-time decision after he tests out the ankle during pregame. The veteran guard missed Saturday's game against Indiana after tweaking the ankle in Miami's blowout win over Milwaukee on Thursday. If Lowry is ultimately unable to go, Gabe Vincent, who started Saturday, would be the top candidate to fill in at point guard.
Oct 24, 2021
Questionable again
Lowry (ankle) is questionable Monday versus Orlando.
ANALYSIS
Lowry has been questionable across two consecutive games. He will try to be available Monday, especially considering the Heat lost at Indiana on Friday while they played without him.
Oct 23, 2021
Out vs. Pacers
Lowry (ankle) is out for Saturday's game against the Pacers, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Lowry tweaked his ankle in the home opener, and he'll sit out the second game of the season. In his place, Gabe Vincent will start. Tyler Herro could also see extra playmaking responsibilities.
Oct 22, 2021
Questionable Saturday
Lowry is questionable for Saturday's game against the Pacers due to a left ankle sprain, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Lowry tweaked his ankle in Thursday's regular-season opener against the Bucks but was able to quickly return to the court. If he's held out Saturday, Tyler Herro and Gabe Vincent will take on increased roles for Miami.
Oct 22, 2021
Quiet night in blowout victory
Lowry had just five points (1-8 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six assists, one rebound, one steal and one block in 24 minutes during Thursday's 137-95 victory over the Bucks.
ANALYSIS
Despite injuring his ankle during the victory, Lowry was able to return to the court in quick time. His playing time, much like his teammates, was limited due to the fact that the game was all but over by the half. He figures to take a backseat when it comes to offensive production but should still be a solid mid-round fantasy target in all competitive leagues. Those with shares in Lowry will want to keep an eye on the injury report ahead of Saturday's game against the Pacers in case his ankle concern lingers.
Oct 13, 2021
One of several players resting
Lowry (rest) will not play Thursday against the Hawks, Tim Reynolds of the Associated Press reports.
ANALYSIS
Miami will hold out all of its primary veteran contributors Thursday on the first half of a rare preseason back-to-back. It's unclear if the veteran guard will be available for Friday's exhibition finale at home against Boston.
Oct 11, 2021
Finishes in double figures
Lowry scored 15 points (5-12 FG, 4-8 3PT, 1-3 FT) and added five assists, three rebounds and three steals across 26 minutes in Monday's preseason game against Charlotte.
ANALYSIS
Lowry had struggled to score his first two preseason appearances, but he responded Monday with a serviceable shooting night, and he unsurprisingly facilitated the basketball as well. The new member of the Heat is averaging 7.3 points, 7.3 assists, 4.0 rebounds and 2.7 steals through three exhibitions.
Oct 11, 2021
Back in action Monday
Lowry is starting Monday's preseason game against the Hornets.
ANALYSIS
Lowry sat out the second half of the back-to-back set Friday for rest purposes, and he'll unsurprisingly rejoin the starting five for Monday's exhibition.
Oct 8, 2021
Out vs. Spurs
Lowry is resting against the Spurs on Friday.
ANALYSIS
Lowry and other key rotation options are getting the night off with the Heat being on the second game of a back-to-back set.
Oct 4, 2021
Dishes out seven dimes
Lowry finished with five points (1-4 FG, 1-2 3PT, 2-2 FT), seven assists, four rebounds and one steal in 15 minutes during Monday's preseason game against Atlanta.
ANALYSIS
Lowry didn't wow any spectators with his scoring performance in his preseason debut, but he dished out seven assists in limited minutes, including an electric alley-oop to Bam Adebayo. The veteran point guard is coming off a 2020 campaign in which he put up 17.2 points and recorded 7.3 assists along with 5.4 rebounds and 1.0 steal over 46 contests.
Aug 6, 2021
Officially signs with Miami
Lowry officially signed a three-year, $85 million deal with the Heat on Friday, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
The three-year commitment to a 35-year-old guard is a significant risk for Miami, but the Heat are desperate to re-tool around Jimmy Butler and make another deep postseason run. Lowry steps in as the obvious starter at point guard ahead of Tyler Herro and made Kendrick Nunn expendable. Miami will likely do what it can to limit Lowry's workload, but the roster is thinner than in years past, so don't expect a major drop-off in minutes.
Aug 1, 2021
Could be headed to Miami
The Heat are expected to extend the Raptors a sign-and-trade offer for Lowry on Monday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
While nothing is set in stone until free agency talks begin at 6:00 PM ET on Monday, all indications are that the Heat are prepared to offer Goran Dragic and Precious Achiuwa in exchange for the veteran guard. Dragic opted into his $19.4 million player option on Sunday, which essentially provides the money necessary to pull off the trade. Meanwhile, Achiuwa would serve as the sweetener, per Wojnarowski, that would incentive Toronto to make the deal. A six-time All-Star, Lowry appeared in just 46 games for the Raptors last season, but he mostly looked like himself when healthy, putting up 17.2 points, 5.4 rebounds, 7.3 assists, 1.0 steal and 2.8 made threes per game.
May 15, 2021
Out for finale
Lowry (rest) will not play in Sunday's finale against the Pacers, Blake Murphy of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Lowry has played his last game of the season and possibly his last game in a Raptors uniform after he was nearly traded at this season's deadline. He ends the 72-game season having appeared in 46 contests, with the veteran averaging 17.2 points, 7.3 assists, 5.4 rebounds and 1.0 steals in 34.8 minutes.
May 14, 2021
Out yet again Friday
Lowry (rest) will not play Friday against the Mavericks, Josh Lewenberg of TSN reports.
ANALYSIS
This will be Lowry's sixth straight rest night as the Raptors continue to blatantly tank their way to the end of the season. Most of the Raptors' regulars will also be held out, so expect several reserves to play huge minutes again.
May 12, 2021
Out again Thursday
Lowry (rest) won't play Thursday against the Bulls, Doug Smith of the Toronto Star reports.
ANALYSIS
The Raptors continue to aggressively rest Lowry down the stretch, and Fred VanVleet is getting the night off as well. With both players in street clothes, Malachi Flynn, DeAndre' Bembry and Gary Trent should see plenty of action.
May 10, 2021
Out again Tuesday
Lowry (rest) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Clippers, Aaron Rose of SI.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Lowry will rest for the fourth straight game Tuesday, which could provide another starting opportunity for Malachi Flynn. Fred VanVleet (rest), Pascal Siakam (shoulder) and OG Anunoby (calf) are among the other players sidelined for Toronto.
May 7, 2021
Ruled out Saturday
Lowry has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Grizzlies for rest purposes, Aaron Rose of SI.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Lowry initially wasn't on the injury report for Saturday's matchup, but he'll miss a third consecutive game. Malachi Flynn should continue to see additional run.
May 7, 2021
Expected back Saturday
Lowry (rest) is not on the injury report for Saturday's matchup against the Grizzlies, Blake Murphy of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
After sitting out the past two games, Lowry should see the floor Saturday. Across his past six appearances, he's averaged 18.0 points, 8.0 assists and 4.7 rebounds in 36.2 minutes.
May 6, 2021
Out for rest
Lowry is out for Thursday's game against the Wizards due to rest, Eric Koreen of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
After sitting out Tuesday's game due to a back injury, Lowry will not play Thursday due to rest. In his absence, Malachi Flynn should continue seeing extra run.
May 5, 2021
Off injury report
Lowry (back) is off the injury report for Thursday's contest against the Wizards, Blake Murphy of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Lowry was a late scratch due to a back injury Tuesday against the Clippers, and he's apparently feeling better ahead of Thursday's game. He should be expected to re-join the starting five alongside Fred VanVleet.
May 4, 2021
Out vs. Clippers
Lowry (back) is out for Tuesday's game against the Clippers, Blake Murphy of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Lowry was a late addition to the injury report and will ultimately sit out due to a sore back after testing things out during pregame warmups. In his place, Yuta Watanabe is getting the start.
May 4, 2021
Questionable vs. Clippers
Lowry, a late addition to the injury report, is questionable for Tuesday's contest against the Clippers due to lower back stiffness.
ANALYSIS
Lowry has been playing often and well lately, as he's seen 37.3 minutes per game over his past three appearances and has averaged 27.0 points, 8.0 assists, 3.0 rebounds and 1.0 steals. If he ends up sidelined Tuesday, more minutes would be available for Malachi Flynn.
May 3, 2021
Huge performance against Lakers
Lowry mustered 37 points (12-20 FG, 8-13 3Pt, 5-6 FT), 11 assists, two rebounds and a steal across 41 minutes in Sunday's win over the Lakers.
ANALYSIS
Lowry returned to the court after missing Saturday's game against the Jazz and made his presence felt, as he posted a season-high mark in points while also recording double-digit dimes just for the 11th time this season. The veteran point guard had a couple of disappointing performances over the last few weeks but seems to be turning things around, and he has put up at least 20 points in each of his last three games.
May 2, 2021
Back in action Sunday
Lowry will start Sunday's game against the Lakers, Blake Murphy of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
As expected, the veteran will return to the mix after being rested on the front end of a back-to-back Saturday night. The Raptors' rotations have been wildly unpredictable over the last few weeks, but Lowry has played 34 or more minutes in each of his last six appearances.
Apr 30, 2021
Resting Saturday
Lowry has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Jazz for rest purposes, Blake Murphy of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
While Lowry will sit out the first half of the back-to-back set, it wouldn't be surprising to see him return to the court against the Lakers on Sunday. Malachi Flynn, Fred VanVleet (hip) and DeAndre' Bembry could see increased run in his absence.
Apr 28, 2021
Scores game-high 24 points
Lowry scored 24 points (8-14 FG, 6-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT) with six assists, two rebounds and one block in a 116-103 loss to the Nets on Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
Lowry scored 20-plus points for the first time in April. The guard has missed nine of the teams 14 games this month due to a foot injury and rest but has provided fantasy managers with consistent assist totals when he has been in the lineup. Lowry has averaged 12.8 points, 7.5 assists and 5.3 rebounds across his last four games. Look for the veteran to build on Tuesday's efficient shooting performance Thursday on the road against the Nuggets.
Apr 26, 2021
Hands out 10 assists in win
Lowry had nine points (3-9 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 10 assists and five rebounds in Monday's win over the Cavs.
ANALYSIS
While the 10 assists give Lowry 19 over his last two games, the more concerning trend is that his scoring efficiency has fallen off a cliff. Since returning from a four-game absence last week, Lowry is shooting a combined 7-of-31 from the floor, including just 4-of-23 from beyond the arc, over his last three games.
Apr 24, 2021
Hits one of 10 shots
Lowry was held to four points (1-10 FG, 0-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT) in Saturday's loss to New York, contributing nine assists, seven rebounds and one block in 36 minutes.
ANALYSIS
The 35-year-old followed up Wednesday's modest 14-point performance with his lowest scoring output since Feb. 8. Lowry has missed 11 out of his last 15 games due to a mixture of rest and foot ailments, and with the Raptors quickly falling out of playoff contention, it wouldn't be surprising to see him sit more games down the stretch. The 15-year guard is a dicey fantasy bet the rest of the way.
Apr 22, 2021
Modest performance Wednesday
Lowry compiled 14 points (4-12 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 3-4 FT), seven rebounds and five assists in 35 minutes during Wednesday's 114-103 victory over the Nets.
ANALYSIS
Lowry joined a host of other Raptors players returning to the lineup Wednesday, coming through with a decent performance. While the veteran is a clear must-roster player from a per-game perspective, the uncertainty around his availability moving forward does pose a threat to his overall value.
Apr 20, 2021
Clear of injury report
Lowry (rest) isn't listed on the injury report for Wednesday's game against the Nets.
ANALYSIS
The 35-year-old rested the past four contests and has seen action in only one game so far in April, but it appears he's on track to play Wednesday versus the Nets. Lowry can't be trusted for consistent playing time week-to-week given Toronto's recent lineup trends, though for now he's set to take the court against Brooklyn.
Apr 18, 2021
Resting yet again
Lowry will be rested for Sunday's game against the Thunder.
ANALYSIS
This will be the fourth consecutive rest day for Lowry, who's appeared in only one game in the month of April. At this point, virtually all of the Raptors' regulars are extremely risky players to start in weekly lineup leagues, as coach Nick Nurse appears to be selecting his rotation at random on a game-to-game basis.
Apr 15, 2021
Getting more rest Friday
Lowry (rest) will not play Friday against Orlando, Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reports.
ANALYSIS
Lowry will be rested for his third-consecutive game as the team is taking extreme precautions with the veteran guard. Malachi Flynn will continue to see a larger than normal workload while Lowry remains on the sidelines.
Apr 14, 2021
Resting again Wednesday
Lowry (rest) remains out Wednesday against the Spurs, Aaron Rose of SI.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Lowry will rest for a second straight game, surprising sitting out both games of the back-to-back set. With Fred VanVleet (suspension) also still out, more minutes should continue to be available for Malachi Flynn.
Apr 13, 2021
Won't play Tuesday
Lowry (rest) will not play Tuesday against the Hawks, Mike Ganter of the Toronto Sun reports.
ANALYSIS
Lowry will be rested in the first end of the back-to-back, which should open up more playing time for Malachi Flynn and DeAndre' Bembry. Expect the veteran guard to be able to return for Wednesday's game against the Spurs.
Apr 12, 2021
Gets major minutes in return
Lowry (foot) tallied 19 points (5-10 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 7-8 FT), seven rebounds, six assists and three steals across 37 minutes Sunday in the Raptors' 102-96 loss to the Knicks.
ANALYSIS
As evidenced by the big minutes total, Lowry faced no apparent limitations as he returned from the lineup following a six-game absence due to a right foot infection. With Fred VanVleet set to miss at least one more contest due to his lingering hip injury or to serve his one-game suspension, Lowry could benefit from a slight uptick in usage as Toronto's clear top playmaker out of the backcourt.
Apr 11, 2021
Officially active Sunday
Lowry (foot) is available for Sunday's game against the Knicks, Aaron Rose of SI.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Lowry had sat out the previous six games due to a right foot infection, but he was trending in the right direction ahead of Sunday's matchup. The point guard should return to the starting lineup against New York but could have a soft minutes restriction Sunday.
Apr 11, 2021
Bumped up to probable
Lowry (foot) is listed as probable for Sunday's game against the Knicks, Doug Smith of the Toronto Star reports.
ANALYSIS
This is a major step in the right direction for the veteran, as he was listed as questionable coming into Sunday after missing the previous six games. Assuming Lowry does play, there's a good chance he'll face a soft minutes restriction, making him a risky play in DFS contests.
Apr 11, 2021
Questionable for Sunday
Lowry (foot) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Knicks.
ANALYSIS
Lowry had previously been listed as probable for Sunday's game, but now it sounds like his status is slightly more uncertain. The team will provide another update on his status ahead of tipoff. He hasn't played since March 29 due to a right foot infection.
Apr 10, 2021
Out Saturday, probable Sunday
Lowry (foot) is out Saturday against the Cavaliers but is likely to play Sunday against the Knicks, Blake Murphy of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
As expected, the veteran will remain out Saturday due to a right foot infection, but he's on the cusp of a return. If he does come back Sunday, he could be on a minutes limit.
Apr 10, 2021
Downgraded to doubtful
Lowry (foot) has been downgraded to doubtful ahead of Saturday's matchup with the Cavaliers, Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reports.
ANALYSIS
Lowry appears on track to miss Saturday's first leg of a back-to-back set. Should he ultimately get ruled out, look for Malachi Flynn and Gary Trent to handle most of the backcourt duties, while DeAndre' Bembry will provide depth.
Apr 9, 2021
Questionable for Saturday
Lowry (foot) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Cavaliers, Aaron Rose of SI.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Lowry has been sidelined since late March due to a right foot infection, but it looks like he has at least a shot to return Saturday. If Lowry does end up playing versus Cleveland, the Rockets could still cap his minutes as a precaution.
Apr 8, 2021
Not playing Thursday
Lowry (foot) remains out for Thursday's game against the Bulls.
ANALYSIS
Raptors head coach Nick Nurse said back on March 31 that he expected Lowry to miss 7-to-10 days with the right foot infection. A week has passed since that time, but it's unclear where exactly Lowry stands in his recovery. Until the Raptors provide a more concrete update on Lowry, his status will warrant monitoring on a game-by-game basis.
Mar 31, 2021
Out 7-10 days
Lowry (foot) will be sidelined 7-10 days, Blake Murphy of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Lowry has a foot infection that coach Nick Nurse described as "not going very well." With Lowry out at least a week, Gary Trent, Rodney Hood, Stanley Johnson and Malachi Flynn are all candidates to see expanded roles.
Mar 31, 2021
Ruled out Wednesday
Lowry has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Thunder due to a right foot infection, Mike Ganter of the Toronto Sun reports.
ANALYSIS
Lowry returned to the court for Monday's loss to the Pistons, but he's still dealing with a right foot issue. With Lowry unavailable Wednesday, Malachi Flynn and Fred VanVleet should see increased run for Toronto.
Mar 29, 2021
Will play, start
Lowry (foot) will play and start in Monday's game against the Pistons, Matt Devlin of TSN reports.
ANALYSIS
Lowry was in danger of missing his second straight game before ultimately getting the green light. Look for him to take on his usual workload at point guard assuming he avoids any setbacks.
Mar 29, 2021
Game-time call Monday
Lowry (foot) is a game-time decision for Monday's game at Detroit, Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reports.
ANALYSIS
The 35-year-old is officially questionable for Monday's contest, and his status remains up in the air with opening tip approaching. Fred VanVleet likely will take over point duties with Gary Trent starting at shooting guard should Lowry be forced to miss his second straight game.
Mar 29, 2021
Questionable for Monday
Lowry (foot) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Pistons, Blake Murphy of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
The veteran guard was a late scratch Sunday night against Portland due to soreness in his right foot, and he's likely still battling some discomfort. If Lowry ultimately misses another game, expect Fred VanVleet to again slide down to point guard, while Gary Trent holds down the shooting guard spot.
Mar 28, 2021
Late scratch Sunday
Lowry has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Trail Blazers due to right foot soreness, Mark Stein of The New York Times reports.
ANALYSIS
Lowry wasn't initially listed on Toronto's injury report, but he'll be a late scratch for Sunday's matchup. Malachi Flynn could start in his place against Portland, while Fred VanVleet could also see increased run for the Raptors in Lowry's absence. It's not yet clear whether Lowry will be able to return for the second half of the back-to-back set Monday against Detroit.
Mar 25, 2021
To remain in Toronto
Lowry will remain with the Raptors after no deal was reached before Thursday's trade deadline, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
It was widely believed that Lowry had played his final game for the Raptors on Wednesday night, but despite heavy interest from several teams -- including the Sixers, Lakers and Heat -- the Raptors ultimately were unable to find a suitable deal for the veteran. As a result, Lowry will remain with the Raptors, who will continue to fight for a playoff spot in the Eastern Conference. The 35-year-old's fantasy value should sustain, though there's a chance he could be rested near the end of the season, should the Raptors ultimately fall out of contention.
Mar 23, 2021
Solid outing in loss
Lowry produced 17 points (6-13 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 3-3 FT), eight assists, four rebounds and two blocked shots across 37 minutes in Monday's 117-99 loss to the Rockets.
ANALYSIS
Lowry's healthy assist total helped to bolster an average night of shooting for the point guard. The Raptors have now lost nine straight games, and there's buzz in the league that a change is imminent in Toronto. As far as action at the trade deadline goes, Lowry's current contract situation appears to fit the bill. Lowry managers may have to make some quick substitutions if a deal happens.
Mar 21, 2021
Posts 18 points in loss
Lowry compiled 18 points (5-14 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 4-4 FT), eight rebounds, four assists and a steal across 40 minutes in Sunday's 116-105 loss to the Cavaliers.
ANALYSIS
Toronto dropped their eighth straight game despite an efficient night from their floor general. Every game could be Lowry's last in a Raptor uniform as the trade deadline approaches, and his chances of departure are anyone's guess at the moment. Those who depend on Lowry for production should check the waiver wire and consider Malachi Flynn or Terence Davis for insurance purposes.
Mar 15, 2021
Ejected after 20-point effort
Lowry totaled 20 points (6-17 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 6-6 FT), eight assists, five rebounds and a steal across 37 minutes in Sunday's 118-95 loss to the Bulls.
ANALYSIS
Lowry got into it with officials one too many times in the loss and was summarily ejected after his second technical foul in the fourth quarter. Lowry carries a heavy load as the only regular member of the starting five, as several teammates are out due to COVID-19 protocols. Due to the litany of absences, his floor is a bit more reliable than usual. He will be a popular fantasy target while his counterparts are out.
Mar 14, 2021
Sniffs double-double
Lowry finished with 19 points (7-16 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight assists, six rebounds and a steal across 31 minutes in Saturday's loss against the Hornets.
ANALYSIS
Lowry missed four games in mid-February but has returned with a series of strong performances, scoring at least 15 points and/or dishing out at least eight assists in each of his last six performances. He's averaging 19.3 points, 10.5 assists and 6.2 rebounds per game over his last six appearances.
Mar 12, 2021
Puts up double-double
Lowry notched 17 points (5-17 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 12 assists and six rebounds across 39 minutes in Thursday's loss against the Hawks.
ANALYSIS
Lowry might have ended with another double-double and displayed his playmaking ability once again, but he was unable to shoot with any sort of consistency and needed 17 shots just to record 17 points. Lowry continues to be a valuable fantasy asset despite that accuracy problem, however, and he should continue to have a sizable role -- especially while Fred VanVleet (COVID-19) remains sidelined.
Mar 6, 2021
Delivers career-high 19 assists
Lowry logged 14 points (5-18 FG, 3-11 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 19 assists, three rebounds and one steal Thursday in a 132-125 loss at Boston.
ANALYSIS
Lowry missed more shot attempts at Boston than in any other game this season but still ensured it as of his best by recording 19 assists. It was a surprising performance from the 14-year veteran receiving an uptick in usage with starters Fred VanVleet, OG Anunoby and Pascal Siakam (all COVID-19 protocols) out. Lowry may be averaging 7.0 assists this season but his rather absurd assist tally Thursday will remain a one-off.
Mar 3, 2021
20 points for third straight
Lowry recorded 21 points (5-11 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 8-9 FT), six assists, four rebounds, one steal and one block during Wednesday's loss to Detroit.
ANALYSIS
Coming off a triple-double performance during the Raptors' last game, Lowry reached the 20-point mark offensively for a third consecutive matchup while dishing out at least six assists for a fourth straight. Lowry also kept things rolling behind the arc, as the veteran is draining 61.5 percent of his attempts from three over the past five games.
Mar 1, 2021
Matchup pushed to Wednesday
Lowry and the Raptors have had Tuesday's game against Detroit tentatively rescheduled for Wednesday, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
The Raptors had their contest against the Bulls on Sunday postponed due to positive COVID-19 test results, and the league has since decided to push Tuesday's game to Wednesday as a precaution. Toronto will now have a back-to-back before the break, assuming both games are ultimately played.
Feb 28, 2021
Sunday's game postponed
Lowry and the Raptors won't play the Bulls on Sunday since the game was postponed due to the league's COVID-19 protocols, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
The Raptors played the Rockets on Friday without Pascal Siakam and much of the coaching staff due to the league's health and safety protocols, and the team now doesn't have the minimum of eight players to face the Bulls. Toronto is scheduled to play Detroit on Tuesday and Boston on Thursday before the All-Star break, though those contests are now in jeopardy of also being postponed.
Feb 26, 2021
Collects triple-double in win
Lowry (ankle) totaled 20 points (6-9 FG, 4-5 3 Pt, 4-4 FT), 11 rebounds, 10 assists, one block and one steal over 33 minutes during Friday's victory over the Rockets.
ANALYSIS
Lowry made some history Friday, becoming just the 11th player to record a 20-point triple-double while attempting fewer than 10 shots. It was also his second triple-double this month. After missing four games with a sprained ankle, Lowry has averaged 22.0 points, 9.0 assists, 9.0 rebounds, and 1.5 steals while shooting 68.1 percent from the field and 66.7 percent from distance in two games.
Feb 25, 2021
Strong performance in return
Lowry scored 24 points (9-13 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 2-4 FT) and contributed eight assists, seven rebounds and two steals in the Raptors' 116-108 loss to the Heat on Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Lowry returned to the starting lineup after missing four games due to an ankle injury and didn't appear to have any limitations. The guard came out firing making four-of-five shots in the first quarter, two of which were threes. He seemed to be in for a big night heading into the fourth quarter with 24 points on nine-of-11 shooting, but was held scoreless despite playing the whole quarter. Lowry has had another solid all-around fantasy season, averaging 17.7 points, 6.4 assists, 5.5 rebounds and 1.2 steals per game, so fantasy managers can expect more strong performances like Wednesday's
Feb 24, 2021
Cleared to play
Lowry (ankle) will play Wednesday against the Heat, Mark Stein of The New York Times reports.
ANALYSIS
As expected, Lowry will make his return following a four-game absence. He'll likely re-join the starting five, which should push DeAndre' Bembry back to the bench.
Feb 24, 2021
Officially probable Wednesday
Lowry (ankle) is probable for Wednesday's game against the Heat, Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reports.
ANALYSIS
Lowry is likely to return to the lineup Wednesday after missing four straight games due to a left ankle injury. DeAndre' Bembry is expected to head back to the bench as a result.
Feb 23, 2021
'Good chance' of playing Wednesday
Lowry (ankle), per coach Nick Nurse, has a "good chance" of playing Wednesday against the 76ers, Aaron Rose of SI.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Lowry missed his fourth straight game Tuesday against the 76ers, but he should be good to go Wednesday. That said, he could be on a minutes limit in his first game back, assuming he's cleared to play. More information could become available when the team releases its first injury report of the day.
Feb 23, 2021
Out Tuesday
Lowry (ankle) is out for Tuesday's game against the 76ers, Eric Koreen of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Lowry was quickly downgraded from doubtful to out after initially being questionable. However, the fact that he was initially questionable is a good sign for his potential availability Wednesday against the Heat.
Feb 23, 2021
Downgraded to doubtful
Lowry (ankle) has been downgraded to doubtful for Tuesday's matchup against the 76ers.
ANALYSIS
Lowry was initially listed as questionable, but now he's likely on track to miss a fourth straight game. That said, since he was questionable, it appears he's close to a return. His next chance to take the court arrives Wednesday against the Heat.
Feb 22, 2021
Listed questionable for Tuesday
Lowry (ankle) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the 76ers, Ryan Wolstat of the Toronto Sun reports.
ANALYSIS
Lowry has missed the last three games since spraining his left ankle against the Bucks on Tuesday, but he'll have a chance to rejoin the lineup Tuesday night. As of now, the injury makes Lowry a risky start in weekly lineup leagues, though Toronto does have four games on the schedule, so even if he ends up sitting out Tuesday, he'd have three more opportunities to take the floor.
Feb 21, 2021
Officially out Sunday
Lowry (ankle) won't play Sunday against Philadelphia, Blake Murphy of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Lowry was considered doubtful for Sunday's matchup, and coach Nick Nurse confirmed that he'll miss a third consecutive contest due to ankle and thumb issues. Norman Powell will likely start in his place once again Sunday.
Feb 20, 2021
Doubtful Sunday
Lowry (ankle) is doubtful for Sunday's game against the 76ers.
ANALYSIS
Lowry is on track to miss a third straight game due to left ankle soreness. Assuming that's the case, Norman Powell should remain in the starting five, with Fred VanVleet sliding down to point guard.
Feb 19, 2021
Ruled out Friday
Lowry (thumb/ankle) has been ruled out for Friday's game against Minnesota, Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reports.
ANALYSIS
Coach Nick Nurse said that he didn't expect Lowry to play against the Timberwolves, and he'll officially be held out while dealing with thumb and ankle injuries. Fred VanVleet and Norman Powell should see increased roles in his absence.
Feb 19, 2021
Officially questionable Friday
Lowry (thumb/ankle) is questionable for Friday's game against the Timberwolves, Blake Murphy of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Coach Nick Nurse said the 34-year-old wasn't expected to play Friday after sitting out Thursday's matchup with the Bucks, but the veteran guard apparently still has a chance to play against the Timberwolves. Fred VanVleet and Norman Powell are poised to lead the backcourt if Lowry is unavailable.
Feb 18, 2021
Ruled out Thursday
Lowry (ankle) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Bucks, Aaron Rose of SI.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Lowry was questionable Thursday after leaving Tuesday's matchup due to an ankle injury, but he'll be unable to suit up. Stanley Johnson, Malachi Flynn and Norman Powell should see increased run in Lowry's absence.
Feb 17, 2021
Questionable Thursday
Lowry (ankle) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Bucks, Aaron Rose of Sports Illustrated reports.
ANALYSIS
Lowry suffered an ankle injury Tuesday against the Bucks, limiting him to just 22 minutes. He's still feeling pain one day later, and his status for Thursday's action is in jeopardy. If Lowry sits, Stanley Johnson, Malachi Flynn and Norman Powell could see more minutes and touches.
Feb 16, 2021
Won't return Tuesday
Lowry won't return to Tuesday's game against the Bucks due to a sore left ankle, Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reports.
ANALYSIS
The 34-year-old first appeared to suffer the injury late in the first half, though he was initially able to take the court coming out of halftime. Lowry had a productive night despite the early exit with 18 points (7-12 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 1-1 FT) six rebounds, six assists and two steals in 22 minutes. He should be considered questionable for Thursday's rematch with Milwaukee until the team updates his status.
Feb 16, 2021
Limps to locker room
Lowry limped to the locker room during the third quarter of Tuesday's game against the Bucks.
ANALYSIS
Lowry headed to the locker room earlier in the game but returned in the second half. However, it seems like some pain caught up with him. It's unclear if he'll return.
Feb 14, 2021
Drops 24 in loss to T-wolves
Lowry scored a game-high 24 points (6-12 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 10-12 FT) while adding four rebounds, four assists and two steals in 40 minutes during Sunday's 116-112 loss to the Timberwolves.
ANALYSIS
Since being forced off the court early Feb. 8 due to back spasms, Lowry has looked none the worse for wear, averaging 23.0 points, 5.0 assists, 3.0 boards, 2.7 threes and 1.7 steals over the last three games. The veteran point guard has seen his scoring numbers decline from last season, but if this hot streak continues Lowry will be teasing a 20 PPG mark again soon enough.
Feb 12, 2021
Leads team with 24 points
Lowry logged 24 points (10-15 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 3-3 FT), six assists, one rebound and one steal in Thursday's 120-106 loss to the Celtics.
ANALYSIS
The Raptors began February with a six-game road trip that concluded with a disappointing finale at Boston. Lowry has commenced the up-and-down month by scoring over 20 points thrice and under 10 points twice. He is now averaging 17.4 points and 6.6 assists, which are good but not definitive tallies that will assure him his seventh consecutive All-Star nomination.
Feb 10, 2021
Nails five treys in win
Lowry (back) played in 33 minutes and totaled 21 points (8-14 FG, 5-8 3Pt), five assists, four rebounds, two steals and one block during the win over the Wizards.
ANALYSIS
Despite not scoring at all in the first quarter, Lowry still managed to finish third on the team in scoring behind Pascal Siakam and Norman Powell, though his five three-pointers led the team. Over his seven games, Lowry has dished out five or more assists six times with the one exception being Monday's game where he left the game with back spasms.
Feb 10, 2021
Will play through back issue
Lowry (back) will start Wednesday's game against the Wizards, Blake Murphy of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Lowry wasn't listed on the Raptors' injury report earlier in the day, so this was the expected outcome, but coach Nick Nurse said he'll keep a close eye on Lowry after back spasms forced him out of Monday's win over Memphis. It doesn't look like Lowry will face any true limitations, but it's possible the Raptors pull back a bit considering the 34-year-old had played at least 37 minutes in five off is last six games prior to Monday.
Feb 9, 2021
Not on injury report
Lowry (back) is not listed on the injury report for Wednesday's game against the Wizards, Blake Murphy of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Lowry had to leave Monday's win over the Grizzlies after just eight minutes due to a back injury, but he's not expected to miss any time. The 34-year-old guard had gone for just nine points on 16 field-goal attempts in his previous game on Saturday against the Hawks. He'll look to get back on the right track against Washington.
Feb 8, 2021
Won't return vs. Grizzlies
Lowry won't return to Monday's game against Memphis due to back spasms.
ANALYSIS
Lowry left the contest in the first half with the back issue, and the team has since reported that he won't be back. Terence Davis should see an uptick in minutes the rest of the way as a result.
Feb 5, 2021
Stuffs stat sheet against Nets
Lowry delivered 30 points (12-18 FG, 6-9 3Pt), seven assists, five rebounds and two steals across 38 minutes in Friday's win over the Nets.
ANALYSIS
Lowry has settled well as the Raptors' third-best scoring threat in most nights behind Fred VanVleet and Pascal Siakam, but he delivered his best game of the season Friday en route to his first 30-point outing of the campaign. Lowry has dished out seven or more assists in three straight games for the second time this season, and he's undoubtedly going through his best stretch of the campaign -- though it remains to be seen whether he'll be to sustain these numbers over a prolonged period.
Feb 2, 2021
Triple-double in victory
Lowry went for 14 points (4-11 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 3-5 FT), 10 rebounds, 10 assists and four steals over 34 minutes during Tuesday's 123-108 win over the Magic.
ANALYSIS
Lowry followed up his double-double against the Magic on Sunday with a triple-double against them Tuesday. However, Lowry has been ice-cold shooting wise. Over his last six games, he is shooting 33.6 percent from the field and 31.6 percent from deep. In the same six-game span, Lowry has also committed 18 turnovers.
Jan 30, 2021
Struggles with shot
Lowry scored 17 points (7-17 FG, 2-8 3PT, 1-1 FT) to go along with three rebounds and six assists in Friday's loss to the Kings.
ANALYSIS
Lowry struggled with his shot -- particularly from three-point range -- and was reliant upon volume to bank his 17 points. Since returning from a two-game absence caused by a toe infection, Lowry has shot only 40 percent from the field while averaging 16.7 points, 3.7 rebounds, and 3.3 assists. On the positive side of things, Lowry did improve his ball distribution to accumulate six assists after combining for only four dimes across his previous two contests.
Jan 27, 2021
Scores 14 points in second half
Lowry scored 21 points (7-12 FG, 6-8 3Pt, 1-1 FT) to go with six rebounds and three assists across 37 minutes in a 115-108 loss to Milwaukee on Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Lowry caught fire in the second half, shooting 5-for-7 from the field, including a 4-for-4 performance from beyond the arc. The guard's 14 points after halftime weren't enough to bring the Raptors a victory despite entering the fourth down just one point. Wednesday's game was just the fifth time this season in which Lowry has scored 20 or more points, but has been quite a consistent scorer, seeing just two outings with less than 16 points and just one performance with less than 10 points.
Jan 25, 2021
Rough night in return
Lowry scored 12 points (2-11 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 7-7 FT) while adding two rebounds, one assists and one steal in 33 minutes during Monday's 129-114 loss to the Pacers.
ANALYSIS
It was a frustrating night for the veteran point guard, who'd missed the prior two games with a toe injury. Lowry not only had trouble getting his shot to fall, he got ejected in the fourth quarter as the game spiraled out of control for Toronto. The slightly early exit leaves him two points shy of becoming the third player to reach 10,000 in a Raptors uniform, an exclusive club that currently only includes Chris Bosh and DeMar DeRozan. Lowry should achieve the milestone Wednesday against the Bucks.
Jan 25, 2021
Back in action Monday
Lowry (toe) is will play Monday against the Pacers, Blake Murphy of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
The 34-year-old sat out the last two games with a right toe infection, but he'll retake the court Monday at Indiana. Lowry should rejoin the starting five, though the Raptors will still be without Pascal Siakam (knee).
Jan 25, 2021
Questionable for Monday
Lowry (toe) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Pacers, Blake Murphy of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
An infected right toe cost Lowry a second straight game Sunday against Indiana, but there's some hope that he'll be able to return as the Raptors embark on a four-game week. The veteran guard's status may not be clarified until close to the 7:00 PM ET tip. Norman Powell has started the last two games in Lowry's stead.
Jan 24, 2021
Won't play Sunday
Lowry (toe) is unavailable Sunday against the Pacers, Blake Murphy of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
The 34-year-old will be sidelined for the second consecutive contest with a right toe infection. Norman Powell is poised to receive another start for the Raptors in Lowry's absence.
Jan 23, 2021
Questionable Sunday
Lowry (toe) is questionable for Sunday's matchup against the Pacers.
ANALYSIS
Lowry missed Friday's game against the Heat due to a tow infection, and he's at risk of missing Sunday's game as well. If he's sidelined again, Norman Powell remains the most likely candidate to start.
Jan 22, 2021
Out Friday
Lowry has been diagnosed with an infection in his toe and will not play Friday against the Heat. Norman Powell will get the start in his place, Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reports.
ANALYSIS
Lowry will miss just his second game this season. Norman Powell should be in line for extra run in addition to his start, and Terence Davis could see extra time as well.
Jan 22, 2021
Questionable with foot soreness
Lowry is questionable for Friday's game against the Heat due to right foot soreness.
ANALYSIS
Lowry struggled mightily in the Raptors' previous game -- a Jan. 20 matchup against the Heat -- going just 2-of-12 from the field. It seems possible he was dealing with some foot soreness then. If he's out Friday, Terence Davis and Norman Powell could see more usage.
Jan 21, 2021
Awful shooting vs. Heat
Lowry recorded eight points (2-12 FG, 1-10 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 10 rebounds, seven assists, one steal and one block in 36 minutes during Wednesday's 111-102 loss to the Heat.
ANALYSIS
After going 9-for-12 from the field two games prior against Mavericks, Lowry came crashing down against the Heat. In typical Lowry fashion, he still filled the box score and limited his turnovers, so the performance wasn't an absolute dud. Overall, the 34-year-old is putting up nearly identical numbers compared to last season, and he'll have a chance to adjust his attack Friday when the Raptors take on the Heat again in a rematch.
Jan 19, 2021
Leads team to grand win over Mavs
Lowry recorded 23 points (9-12 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), nine rebounds, seven assists and one block in a 116-93 win Monday versus Dallas.
ANALYSIS
Lowry recorded 12 points (4-4 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds and two assists across 11 third-quarter minutes. Those stats helped the Raptors establish a stable lead they utilized to win their third consecutive game. Lowry averaged 19.3 points, 8.3 assists and 7.0 rebounds across that three-game span.
Jan 12, 2021
Struggles with shot in second half
Lowry had 18 points (5-17 FG, 3-12 3Pt, 5-5 FT), nine rebounds and two assists in Monday's 112-111 loss to the Trail Blazers.
ANALYSIS
Lowry seemed to be on pace for an excellent night after finishing the first half with 16 points. Unfortunately, he went 0-of-7 in a second half that saw the Raptors bench take over. Lowry will end Toronto's four-game road trip having shot 32.3 percent from the field through its last three games.
Jan 10, 2021
Just short of double-double
Lowry went for 17. points (5-14 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 4-7 FT), nine rebounds, six assists and one steal over 34 minutes in Sunday's 106-105 loss to the Warriors.
ANALYSIS
Lowry had a huge fourth quarter, scoring 16 of his 17 points but committed a key foul late that sent Damion Lee to the line to sink what would end up being the game-winning free throws for the Warriors. Sunday's outing ended a streak of three consecutive games for Lowry in which his point total had increased in each game.
Jan 9, 2021
Off injury report
Lowry (personal) is off the injury report ahead of Sunday's game against the Warriors.
ANALYSIS
Lowry missed Friday's game against the Kings, but he should be back Sunday. Across his past three appearances, he's averaging 19.3 points, 6.7 rebounds, 6.3 assists and 1.0 steals.
Jan 8, 2021
Won't play Friday
Lowry will sit out Friday's game versus the Kings for personal reasons, Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reports.
ANALYSIS
Lowry's absence leaves a major hole on the point for the Raptors on Friday, His absence should open up more minutes for Norman Powell, Terence Davis and Malachi Flynn in the Raptors backcourt. Given the nature of his absence, there seems to be a decent chance he could retake the floor in short order.
Jan 7, 2021
Sniffs double-double in loss
Lowry totaled 24 points (9-15 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 3-3 FT), nine rebounds, six assists and one steal in 38 minutes Wednesday in the Raptors' 123-115 loss to the Suns.
ANALYSIS
The Raptors are off to a disappointing 1-6 start to the season, but Lowry hasn't noticed any downturn in his production as a result. His averages of 19.4 points, 7.4 assists, 5.1 rebounds, 2.9 three-pointers and 1.3 steals are all within one tenth of his 2019-20 per-game marks. Head coach Nick Nurse should continue to give Lowry all the minutes he can handle as the Raptors look to claw their way back up the Eastern Conference standings.
Jan 4, 2021
Stuffs stat sheet in loss
Lowry registered 18 points (5-13 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 7-8 FT), five rebounds, five assists and two steals across 33 minutes in Monday's 126-114 loss against the Celtics.
ANALYSIS
The veteran point guard ended the game as Toronto's third-highest scorer, but he has been providing value in other areas following the eruption of Fred VanVleet as one of Toronto's go-to players on offense. Lowry has scored at least 15 points in every game this season while also averaging 7.7 assists and 5.4 rebounds per game.
Jan 1, 2021
Scores 20 points in win
Lowry recorded 20 points (6-12 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 4-6 FT), seven rebounds, four assists and two steals across 37 minutes in Thursday's win over the Knicks.
ANALYSIS
Lowry ended just three rebounds shy of what would've been his third double-double of the season, and the veteran point guard has posted solid stat lines left and right thus far in 2020-21. Lowry has scored at least 20 points in two straight games and is currently averaging 19.5 points, 8.3 assists, 4.0 rebounds and 1.5 steals per game to date.
Dec 29, 2020
Just misses triple-double
Lowry scored a team-high 24 points (6-15 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 9-9 FT) while adding nine assists, eight rebounds and a steal in 37 minutes during Tuesday's 100-93 loss to the 76ers.
ANALYSIS
As per usual when he plays in his hometown of Philly, Lowry put together a very impressive line and nearly rang up his 17th career triple-double. He wasn't able to rally the Raptors to a victory however, largely because the rest of the team couldn't get to the foul line -- Lowry had nine of the team's 14 total FT attempts. While he's personally off to a strong start to the campaign, the veteran point guard will try to find a way to snap the Raps out of their early-season funk when they host the Knicks on Thursday.
Dec 27, 2020
Another double-double
Lowry registered 16 points (6-15 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 10 assists and two steals across 35 minutes in Saturday's loss against the Spurs.
ANALYSIS
Lowry has dished 10 dimes in back-to-back games, and this might be a sign of things to come for him -- with Fred VanVleet and Pascal Siakam as the team's top two scoring options, Lowry might earn most of his value as a playmaking threat. For what is worth, he only dished out double-digit assists in two or more games twice during the 2019-20 season.
Dec 23, 2020
Drops 10 dimes
Lowry scored 18 points (7-15 FG, 4-9 3PT) to go along with one rebound, 10 assists and one steal across 39 minutes in the Raptors' loss to the Pelicans on Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Now in his age-34 season, coach Nick Nurse remains undeterred from playing Lowry big minutes. He provided a strong line as a result, though he did turn the ball over six times as well. Lowry and the Raptors will take the floor next on Saturday against the Spurs.
Dec 19, 2020
Dominant preseason debut
Lowry scored 25 points (7-14 FG, 6-10 3PT, 5-6 FT), had three assists, and two steals in 27 minutes of Friday's 117-105 preseason loss to Miami.
ANALYSIS
Lowry made his preseason debut and showed no signs of rust as he knocked down a game-high 25 points, including an excellent 60% showing from behind the arc. The veteran guard isn't getting any younger, but when on the court he remains a strong fantasy option after seeing an increase in scoring last year.
Dec 18, 2020
Will play Friday
Lowry (not injury related) will play in Friday's preseason game against the Heat, Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reports.
ANALYSIS
Lowry will make his preseason debut in the team's final exhibition game and he'll figure to have a relatively light workload. The 34-year-old guard will have his minutes managed early in the year, as coach Nick Nurse has already made clear.
Dec 17, 2020
Early-season workload to be reduced
Lowry (not injury related) is expected to have his minutes limited at the start of the season, Eric Koreen of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Lowry was given permission not to travel with the Raptors for the team's first two preseason games. A reason hasn't been given, but it could be due to the veteran dealing with a short offseason. Coach Nick Nurse noted Thursday that the 34-year-old guard is likely to have his minutes managed early in the year. Since the start of the 2013-14 season, he's averaging 35.3 minutes per game and has played 1,133 playoff minutes as well. Decreased run for Lowry could lead to more minutes for Malachi Flynn and Terence Davis.
Dec 12, 2020
Out first two exhibition games
Lowry has been given permission to not travel with the Raptors for their first two preseason games against the Hornets, Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reports.
ANALYSIS
The team did not give an official reason for Lowry's absence, but given the unusually short offseason, they will seemingly opt to ease their veteran point guard back into the swing of things. He could potentially make his preseason debut Friday versus the Heat. The 34-year-old remained as productive as ever last season by averaging 19.4 points, 7.5 assists, 1.4 steals and 2.8 triples across 36.2 minutes per game.
Sep 9, 2020
Leads the way in double-OT win
Lowry had 33 points (12-20 FG, 6-10 3PT, 3-4 FT), eight rebounds, six assists, two steals and a block in Wednesday's double-overtime Game 6 win over Boston.
ANALYSIS
With Pascal Siakam and Fred VanVleet struggling, Lowry took matters into his own hands offensively, leading the way with 33 points -- none bigger than a clutch fadeaway with less than a minute left in the second overtime period. It was a major bounceback game for Lowry, who had just 10 points in Toronto's blowout Game 5 loss. The Raptors will play Game 7 on Friday night.
Sep 6, 2020
Nears triple-double
Lowry posted 22 points (5-16 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 8-8 FT), 11 rebounds, seven assists, two steals and two blocks in 44 minutes during Saturday's Game 4 win over the Celtics.
ANALYSIS
Lowry might have struggled with his shot in this game, but he still delivered an impressive outing on both ends of the court. The eight trips to the charity stripe boosted his scoring numbers, but he was just three dimes away from what would've been his first triple-double of the season. Lowry has scored 15 or more points in each game of the current Eastern Conference Semifinals series.

Goes for 17 on bad ankle
Lowry had 17 points (5-12 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 6-9 FT), eight assists, six rebounds and a steal in Sunday's Game 1 loss to Boston.
ANALYSIS
He did turn the ball over five times, but Lowry still managed a respectable fantasy line on an afternoon when the Raptors' offense was non-existent for long stretches. The veteran came into the game nursing a sprained ankle but did not appear to have any limitations, as he saw 35 minutes of action.
Aug 30, 2020
Cleared for Game 1
Lowry (ankle) will be available for the Raptors on Sunday in Game 1 of their Eastern Conference semifinals series with the Celtics, Mark Stein of The New York Times reports.
ANALYSIS
During the Raptors' first-round sweep of the Nets, Lowry sprained his left ankle in Game 4 on Aug. 23, but the 34-year-old has benefited greatly from the week of between games. After taking part in practice Saturday, Lowry was deemed probable for the series opener with the Celtics, so it comes as little surprise that he's been officially confirmed as good to go. Raptors coach Nick Nurse hasn't said that Lowry's minutes will be managed during the contest, so expect the veteran to start and handle a normal workload in Game 1.
Aug 29, 2020
Listed as probable
Lowry (ankle) is listed as probable for Sunday's Game 1 against the Celtics.
ANALYSIS
After taking part in Saturday's practice, Lowry's status has been updated to probable, so we should expect him to play in Game 1. In nine healthy appearances in the bubble, Lowry is averaging 16.4 points, 7.4 rebounds, 5.6 assists and 1.9 steals in 34.2 minutes.
Aug 29, 2020
Joins practice Saturday
Lowry (ankle) took part in practice Saturday, Ryan Wolstat of the Toronto Sun reports.
ANALYSIS
Lowry remains questionable heading into Sunday's Game 1 against the Celtics, but head coach Nick Nurse said he looked good after participating in practice Saturday. Even if Lowry plays Sunday, he could face some restrictions to begin the series.
Aug 26, 2020
Questionable for Game 1
Lowry is questionable for Thursday's Game 1 against the Celtics.
ANALYSIS
Lowry didn't practice Wednesday, though is still hopeful to be available for Game 1 despite a sprained left ankle. However, looming large is the possibility that the Raptors and Celtics decide to boycott Game 1 in the wake of Kenosha, Wisconsin police shooting and paralyzing Jacob Blake, an African-American man. Each team scheduled to play Wednesday opted to sit out.
Aug 26, 2020
No practice Wednesday
Lowry (ankle) did not practice Wednesday, Gary Washburn of the Boston Globe reports.
ANALYSIS
Lowry remains hopeful to play in Thursday's Game 1 against Boston, but this is not the most encouraging news. The Raptors likely won't offer an official ruling on hit status until after he can be re-evaluated Thursday. In the event Lowry is cleared, there's a good chance he'd be playing at less than 100 percent.
Aug 25, 2020
Hopeful for Game 1
Lowry (ankle) is considered day-to-day, and the Raptors are hopeful he'll be able to play in Thursday's Game 1 against Boston, Josh Lewenberg of TSN reports.
ANALYSIS
This will be the major news item to monitor as Game 1 approaches after Lowry suffered the injury during Sunday's blowout win over Brooklyn. Coach Nick Nurse confirmed that Lowry did not practice Tuesday, but he noted that the veteran will undergo treatment with the goal of having him available Thursday night. In the event that Lowry misses time, the Raptors would lean more heavily on Fred VanVleet, while Terence Davis and Norman Powell could step into increased roles.
Aug 24, 2020
Diagnosed with sprained ankle
Lowry has been diagnosed with a sprained left ankle and is without a specific recovery timetable, Marc Stein of the New York Times reports.
ANALYSIS
The good news for Toronto is an MRI revealed the Lowry did not suffer any damage beyond a sprain, but it's unclear just how severe the sprain may be. With the Raptors' second-round series against Boston set to begin in just three days, there's likely some gamesmanship at play on Toronto's end. With that in mind, it will be important to note whether Lowry is able to partake in any parts of practices this week. If he's held out or limited, Toronto may be forced to begin the series without its starting point guard, which would likely lead to more minutes for the likes of Terence Davis and Norman Powell.
Aug 24, 2020
Getting MRI for injured foot
Head coach Nick Nurse said Sunday after the Raptors' series-clinching 150-122 win over the Nets that Lowry would undergo an MRI on the arch of his left foot rather than his ankle, Andrew Lopez of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Lowry appeared to roll his left ankle in the first quarter of Sunday's Game 4 matchup, but Nurse offered more specificity on the injury after speaking with the media following Toronto's victory. The NBA has yet to announce when the Raptors and Celtics will begin their Eastern Conference semifinals series, but Lowry's status for Game 1 will remain muddled until the results of his MRI become known, likely Monday or Tuesday. Lowry averaged 16.0 points, 8.7 boards, 2.7 triples, 1.7 steals and 1.0 block in 36.7 minutes per game over the first three contests of the series before his early exit Sunday.
Aug 23, 2020
Turns ankle in Game 4
Lowry rolled his left ankle during Sunday's Game 4 against Brooklyn and did not return, Sportsnet reports.
ANALYSIS
Lowry suffered the injury after getting his feet tangled up with Chris Chiozza's in the the first quarter. He got up but was walking with a noticeable limp as he made his way back to the locker room. The Raptors ruled Lowry out for the remainder of the game, and it remains to be seen if he'll be expected to miss additional time going forward. For now, consider Lowry day-to-day as the Raptors await a second-round matchup against Boston, which completed a sweep of the 76ers earlier Sunday.
Aug 19, 2020
Scores 21 in win
Lowry had 21 points (7-14 FG, 3-6 3PT, 4-6 FT), nine rebounds, three assists, two steals and a block in Wednesday's Game 2 win over Brooklyn.
ANALYSIS
Lowry teamed with Fred VanVleet (24 points) to lead the way, as the Raptors overcame a sluggish offensive game to take a 2-0 series lead. Lowry's 21 points were his second-most in any game since bubble play began.
Aug 14, 2020
Sitting finale
Lowry was ruled out for Friday's final seeding game Friday against the Nuggets for rest.
ANALYSIS
The 34-year-old returned to action Wednesday against the Sixers after a one-game absence due to back soreness, but there's no need for the Raptors to risk injury for the opening playoff series against the Nets. Pascal Siakam and Fred VanVleet will also rest while OG Anunoby (knee) and Serge Ibaka (knee) are doubtful, so Toronto's reserves will be heavily featured Friday.
Aug 12, 2020
Scores 19 in Wednesday's return
Lowry (back) totaled 19 points (6-11 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 6-9 FT), three assists, two steals and one rebound in 25 minutes during Wednesday's 125-121 win over the 76ers.
ANALYSIS
Lowry rejoined the lineup after a one-game absence due to back soreness to deliver an efficient scoring performance. None of the starters saw their usual allotment of minutes, and that will likely be the case once again during Friday's regular season finale against the Nuggets.
Aug 11, 2020
Off injury report
Lowry (back) is off the injury report for Wednesday's matchup against the 76ers.
ANALYSIS
Lowry missed Monday's win over the Bucks due to back soreness, but he's feeling better ahead of Wednesday's action. In the bubble, Lowry is averaging 16.2 points, 8.0 rebounds, 6.2 assists and a combined 2.8 steals-plus-blocks across 34.6 minutes.
Aug 10, 2020
Questionable for Monday
Lowry (back) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Bucks.
ANALYSIS
The Raptors are entering the second leg of a back-to-back set, so it's not entirely surprising that Lowry, Serge Ibaka and Fred VanVleet all popped up on the injury report Monday afternoon. It's possible all three could play, but the Raptors have reason to be cautious as the postseason approaches.
Aug 9, 2020
Commits nine turnovers in win
Lowry had 15 points (4-12 FG, 2-9 3PT, 5-6 FT), eight assists, seven rebounds and four steals in Sunday's win over Memphis.
ANALYSIS
While it wasn't Lowry's afternoon from the field, he led the Raptors in assists, and his seven boards were the second-most on the team behind Serge Ibaka's 12. Lowry did commit a season-high nine turnovers, however, in 37 minutes.
Aug 8, 2020
Defensive production wins out
Lowry amassed 11 points (3-6 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 5-5 FT), three steals, two rebounds, two assists and one block in 28 minutes during Friday's 122-120 loss to the Celtics.
ANALYSIS
Lowry salvaged an otherwise disappointing night by compiling four combined steals and blocks. The Raptors were never in this game and the fact Lowry even played 28 minutes was a little surprising. He will certainly be better than this on most nights and will look to bounce back in a favorable matchup against the Grizzlies on Sunday.
Aug 5, 2020
Sniffs triple-double in win
Lowry notched eight points (2-9 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 2-3 FT), 10 assists, nine rebounds, one steal and one block in 38 minutes during Wednesday's 109-99 win over the Magic.
ANALYSIS
Lowry had a disastrous game shooting the rock, but he made up for it with strong rebounding and excellent passing -- he came just two points and one rebound of what would've been his third triple-double of the season. Lowry's scoring numbers should improve ahead of the Raptors' next game against the Celtics on Friday, but he showed he can still provide value even when his shot is not falling.
Aug 2, 2020
Stars in victory Saturday
Lowry finished with 33 points (8-16 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 12-15 FT), 14 rebounds, six assists and one steal in 35 minutes during Saturday's 107-92 victory over the Lakers.
ANALYSIS
Lowry put on a show Saturday, guiding the Raptors to arguably their best win of the season. Never one to shy away from playing time, the enforced layoff may have been a blessing in disguise for the 14-year veteran. He will head into the playoffs about as fresh as he could hope to be and that certainly bodes well for the Raptors' title prospects.
Jul 28, 2020
Directs team to scrimmage win
Lowry produced 11 points (4-8 FG, 3-7 3Pt), seven assists, four rebounds and a steal across 24 minutes in Tuesday's 117-106 loss to the Suns.
ANALYSIS
Lowry is in his 14th season as a pro, but when he's healthy, he shows no signs of slowing down. Expectations for the Raptors were tempered after the departure of Kawhi Leonard, but Lowry leads a strong corps of offensive talent, and they are firmly planted as the second seed in the East, just behind the Bucks. Even though the Bucks are favorites, a repeat showdown in the East finals could be coming if Lowry and his counterparts stay healthy.
Mar 10, 2020
Propels team to fourth straight win
Lowry finished with 21 points (7-18 FG, 4-12 3Pt, 3-5 FT), seven assists, five rebounds and three steals across 43 minutes Monday in the Raptors' 101-92 win over the Jazz.
ANALYSIS
Toronto was without Marc Gasol (hamstring) and Fred VanVleet (shoulder) and lost Norman Powell (ankle) early due to injury and OG Anunoby due to an ejection, but the team was still able to pull out a tough road win in the second half of the back-to-back set. Lowry was once again instrumental in the Raptors' victory, and he's now averaging 26.3 points, 7.8 assists, 5.0 rebounds, 4.5 triples and 2.3 steals in 37.3 minutes during the club's four-game winning streak. He'll get the chance to rest up for an extended period with Toronto now off the schedule until Saturday, when it hosts Detroit.
Mar 9, 2020
Puts up 30 efficient points
Lowry posted 30 points (10-15 FG, 6-10 3Pt, 4-5 FT), eight assists, five rebounds and three steals across 36 minutes Sunday in the Raptors' 118-113 win over the Kings.
ANALYSIS
Lowry's numbers have been trending upward over the last five games, with the veteran point guard providing averages of 24.4 points, 7.6 assists, 5.2 rebounds, 3.8 three-pointers and 1.6 steals over that stretch. All of those figures except the assists are better than his season-long marks, and it's no coincidence that he's posted these numbers without high-usage backcourt mate Fred VanVleet (shoulder) running alongside him. VanVleet could be ready to play in the second half of the back-to-back set Monday in Utah, the first of only two games this week for the Raptors. Toronto's light schedule along with the potential return of VanVleet make Lowry far less of a no-brainer lineup option than usual, though fantasy managers who roster him in deeper leagues will likely want to keep rolling with him.
Mar 4, 2020
Returns to form
Lowry generated 28 points (8-19 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 8-8 FT), six assists, five rebounds and a steal in 36 minutes during Tuesday's win over the Suns.
ANALYSIS
After disappointing over the past three contests, Lowry returned to his usual productive form Tuesday, topping 20 points for the 24th time on the year and leading the Raptors with a plus-18 net rating. While he's entering the latter part of his career, Lowry has yet to slow down. He's scoring nearly five points more than he did a year ago while providing comparable levels of points and assists. On the whole, Lowry's posting 19.4 points, 7.6 rebounds, 4.8 assists and 2.8 threes in 36.5 minutes per contest.
Mar 2, 2020
Rough shooting in loss
Lowry posted 17 points (4-14 FG, 2-10 3Pt, 7-7 FT), eight assists and five rebounds across 38 minutes during Sunday's 133-118 loss to the Nuggets.
ANALYSIS
Lowry has been terrible from distance lately, going 6-for-29 (20.6 percent) across the past three games, which have all been losses. Poor shooting stretches aren't anything unusual for Lowry, who only hit 29.9 percent of his three-point attempts across 15 games in January. He'll look to get back on track Tuesday when the Raptors play in Phoenix.
Feb 23, 2020
Superb showing in blowout win
Lowry totaled 16 points (6-13 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 1-1 FT), 11 assists, five rebounds, five steals and one block in 32 minutes during Sunday's 127-81 win over the Pacers.
ANALYSIS
Lowry delivered an incredibly well-rounded stat line, finishing with a season high in steals while amassing his 13th double-double through 45 appearances. From a statistical perspective, the 33-year-old point guard is putting together one of the finest campaigns of his career and logging lots of minutes in the process.
Feb 22, 2020
Another double-double Friday
Lowry scored 13 points (4-10 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT) while adding 10 assists, five rebounds and a steal in 34 minutes during Friday's 118-101 win over the Suns.
ANALYSIS
The double-double was his 12th of the season, extending the four-game streak he compiled before the All-Star break. Lowry is heating up at the right time for the Raptors, averaging 19.0 points, 10.0 assists, 6.0 boards, 3.2 threes and 1.0 steals through six games in February.
Feb 12, 2020
Turns in triple-double
Lowry accumulated 12 points (4-13 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 12 assists, 11 rebounds and one steal in 37 minutes during Wednesday's 101-91 loss to the Nets.
ANALYSIS
Lowry logged his fourth straight double-double while logging his second triple-double of the season. He's only one triple-double away from matching his career high of three from 2017-18, and the 33-year-old guard remains an extremely useful option for fantasy purposes.
Feb 11, 2020
Double-double in win over Minny
Lowry scored 27 points (9-16 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 5-6 FT) while adding 11 assists, seven rebounds, two blocks and a steal in 40 minutes during Monday's 137-126 win over the Timberwolves.
ANALYSIS
His eight turnovers were a bit ugly, but Lowry made up for them with the rest of his performance in his return from a minor neck issue. Despite missing Saturday's game. the veteran point guard has delivered three straight double-doubles and four in his last seven contests, averaging 18.7 points, 8.6 assists, 5.0 boards, 2.6 threes and 1.3 steals over that stretch.
Feb 10, 2020
Available Monday
Lowry (neck) will play in Monday's contest against Minnesota, Eric Smith of Sportsnet 590 The Fan reports.
ANALYSIS
Coach Nick Nurse mentioned that Lowry, who missed Saturday's win against Brooklyn with a neck injury, "is going to give it a shot [Monday]." It's currently unclear though whether Lowry will be on a minutes restriction. Nevertheless, the veteran guard will reportedly be active for Monday's contest.
Feb 10, 2020
On track to play
Lowry (neck) is probable for Monday's game against the Timberwolves.
ANALYSIS
Lowry missed Sunday's win over the Nets due to a neck issue, but is sounds like he'll take the court for the second half of the team's back-to-back set. Across three games this month, the veteran point guard is averaging 20.7 points, 9.0 assists, 4.3 rebounds and 1.0 steal in 32.0 minutes.
Feb 9, 2020
Questionable Monday
Lowry (neck) is considered questionable for Monday's game against Minnesota.
ANALYSIS
Lowry was held out of Saturday's win over the Nets due to a neck issue, and the Raptors will wait to see how he feels at shootaround before issuing an update. If he ends up missing another game, Fred VanVleet and Terence Davis would likely comprise the starting backcourt.
Feb 8, 2020
Ruled out Saturday
Lowry (neck) is out Saturday against the Nets, Blake Murphy of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
As expected, Lowry will sit out Saturday's game due to whiplash. Patrick McCaw and Terence Davis are candidates to start and/or see extra run.
Feb 8, 2020
Back to doubtful
Lowry (neck) has been downgraded back to doubtful for Saturday's game against the Nets.
ANALYSIS
Lowry is dealing with whiplash, and it's likely he'll end up on the sidelines Saturday. If that's the case, Fred VanVleet and Terence Davis are strong candidates to see expanded roles.
Feb 8, 2020
Upgraded to questionable
Lowry (neck) has been upgraded to questionable for Saturday's game against the Nets, Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reports.
ANALYSIS
Lowry is dealing with whiplash, but there's a chance he'll be able to take the court. If not, Fred VanVleet and Terence Davis are strong candidates to see expanded roles.
Feb 7, 2020
Likely out Saturday
Lowry (neck) is considered doubtful for Saturday's matchup with the Nets, Eric Koreen of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Lowry had to exit early from Friday's game against the Pacers after suffering whiplash on a hard hit. The Raptors will exercise caution with their veteran point guard, so he is unlikely to play barring a quick turnaround. Should he indeed sit out, look for Fred VanVleet take on a bigger role running the show at point guard, while Terence Davis and Patrick McCaw could potentially see some time in the rotation as well.
Feb 7, 2020
Will not return Friday
Lowry will not return to Friday's game after suffering whiplash in his neck and shoulder, Ryan Wolstat of the Toronto Sun reports.
ANALYSIS
Lowry went down hard in the third quarter of Friday's contest and will not return. He had accumulated 16 points (6-11 FG, 3-7 3PT, 1-1 FT), one rebound and 11 assists across 28 minutes prior to exiting. The severity of the injury is not yet known, but his status for Saturday's matchup with the Nets is certainly in jeopardy.
Feb 5, 2020
Fires up game-high 32
Lowry scored a game-high 32 points (12-21 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 5-5 FT) while adding 10 assists, eight rebounds and two steals in 38 minutes during Wednesday's 119-118 win over the Pacers.
ANALYSIS
The veteran point guard came within spitting distance of his 16th career triple-double as he led the Raptors to a franchise-record 12th straight win. Lowry had scored just 21 total points in the two prior victories, but he remains a rock-solid fantasy asset, averaging 17.7 points, 6.2 assists, 4.8 boards, 2.0 threes and 1.4 steals over the winning streak.
Jan 30, 2020
Scores 23 to go with full line
Lowry tallied 23 points (8-16 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 5-6 FT), five rebounds, five assists and four steals in 37 minutes during Thursday's 115-109 win over the Cavaliers.
ANALYSIS
Lowry matched his season high in steals and turned in an extremely well-rounded stat line. The 33-year-old guard is having one of his best overall seasons and has been rewarded with yet another All-Star selection. He'll look to keep it rolling during Friday's matchup versus the Pistons.
Jan 28, 2020
Teases triple-double in win
Lowry scored 12 points (4-8 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT) while adding 11 assists, eight rebounds and a steal in 33 minutes during Tuesday's 130-114 win over the Hawks.
ANALYSIS
The Raptors led by 10 after the first quarter and never looked back, but Lowry still posted a strong fantasy line even if he didn't need to shoot the lights out. The veteran point guard has still scored in double digits in 23 straight games, and he's averaging a tidy 17.8 points, 7.2 assists, 4.3 boards, 2.5 threes and 1.3 steals through 13 games in January.
Jan 25, 2020
Scores game-high 26 points in win
Lowry finished with 26 points (5-12 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 13-14 FT), six rebounds, four steals, three assists and a block in 35 minutes during Friday's 118-112 win against the Knicks.
ANALYSIS
Lowry's preference for charging the basket attracted many fouls that resulted in his season-high 14 free-throw attempts. In his last six games, the 33-year-old has averaged 18 points under 44.6 percent from the field and will look to continue producing Sunday against the Spurs, whom he distributed a season-high 15 assists past on Jan. 12.
Jan 18, 2020
Drops 28 points in 28 minutes
Lowry put up 28 points (10-17 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 3-4 FT) in a win over the Timberwolves on Saturday, throwing in seven rebounds, two assists and one steal in 28 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Lowry looked fine after leaving the last game temporarily due to banging knees. Fred VanVleet returned from a five-game absence due to a hamstring issue in this one, taking some of the facilitating workload back from the 33-year old veteran. Lowry is actually producing the best overall fantasy value he's seen in three years, thanks to his higher scoring output and 3.1 triples per game. On top of that, the free-throw percentage and assists are still at a high level.
Jan 18, 2020
Solid line despite brief exit
Lowry had 11 points (4-9 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 1-1 FT), eight assists, three rebounds and two steals in 22 minutes during Friday's 140-111 win over the Wizards.
ANALYSIS
Lowry fell just two dimes shy of a double-double despite briefly exiting the contest after an apparent knee-to-knee collision with Washington's Jordan McRae. None of Toronto's starters earned more than 29 minutes in the blowout win, so Lowry wasn't alone in receiving a modest minute total, though fantasy owners may want to keep tabs on his status heading into Saturday's matchup versus the Timberwolves in case he pops up on the injury report.
Jan 15, 2020
Sniffs double-double
Lowry had 17 points (6-13 FG, 2-5 3PT, 3-4 FT), eight assists, four rebounds and one steal in 33 minutes during Wednesday's 130-121 win at the Thunder.
ANALYSIS
Lowry continues to thrive as a facilitator, and he has dished out eight or more dimes in each of his last four contests while doing so in six of the last seven as well. He has scored 15 or more points in each of those games as well, and right now he should be treated as one of Toronto's most productive fantasy assets. He is making the most of Fred VanVleet's absence over the last few games.
Jan 12, 2020
Logs 16 points, 15 dimes
Lowry totaled 16 points (5-15 FG, 4-12 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 15 assists, three rebounds and two steals in 39 minutes during Sunday's 105-104 loss to the Spurs.
ANALYSIS
Lowry handed out a season-high 15 assists while logging his second double-double in the last three games. With Pascal Siakam (groin) back in the lineup Lowry could see a small dip in his counting stats eventually, but the continued absence of Fred VanVleet (hamstring) may limit the likelihood of that for a bit longer.
Nov 8, 2019
Injures thumb, will not return
Lowry will not return to Friday's matchup with the Pelicans due to left thumb injury.
ANALYSIS
The severity of Lowry's injury is not known at this time, but he will not return Friday. He collected six points (2-5 FG, 2-5 3PT), two rebounds, five assists, and one steal across 16 minutes before exiting the contest. His status for Sunday's game against the Lakers is currently uncertain.
Oct 17, 2019
Off injury report
Lowry (thumb) isn't listed on the injury report for Friday's exhibition against Brooklyn.
ANALYSIS
Lowry took a seat for Sunday's matchup, but he was a full participant in Tuesday's practice and is expected to see at least a few minutes in Toronto's preseason finale. He appears to be at or close to 100 percent with the regular-season set to begin Tuesday against New Orleans.
