Toronto Raptors point guard Kyle Lowry has been ruled out for team’s highly anticipated game against the Spurs which is the return to San Antonio for Kawhi Leonard.
Lowry received injections last week as he is attempting to recover from lingering back soreness.
Although coach Nick Nurse has indicated Saturday that the all-star guard was closing in on a return to the Raptors lineup saying, “We are close to the end of it,” at this juncture there is no timetable for his return.
Fred VanVleet will continue to assume starting point guard duties until Lowry returns.
