When Lowry got hurt during training camp, he tried to convince Toronto’s staff to put him back in immediately. They didn’t listen and he was rested until he returned to 100%. Head coach Dwane Casey expects Lowry to try the same thing this time around. “Knowing Kyle, he’ll get back as soon as he can,” Casey said. Especially since Toronto’s next game is against Lowry’s hometown Philadelphia 76ers on Saturday night at the ACC. Toronto Sun

Toronto Raptors point guard Kyle Lowry had to be helped off the court after suffering an ankle sprain against Oklahoma City on Tuesday. Lowry twisted his right ankle after landing on Thunder forward-centre Serge Ibaka’s foot while going for a rebound in the second quarter. Lowry grimaced as he pounded the floor and had to keep his weight off the foot as he went to the locker-room. Toronto Globe & Mail

A Raptors team spokesman said Lowry was wearing a walking boot as a precaution, and that he would receive further treatment Wednesday. There is no timetable for his return. Toronto Globe & Mail

For the record, Adelman was (a) joking about the first part; and (b) being totally serious about the last part. Adelman called Lowry one of his favourite players. Moreover, Adelman was right: Lowry eviscerated Minnesota. He had 22 points, seven rebounds and five assists to lead the Raptors to their first win of the year, 105-86 over the Timberwolves. “He’s a bull. He’s just a bull,” said Raptors guard Alan Anderson, who had 18 of the Raptors’ 42 bench points. “His height [six feet] doesn’t tell a lot about him because he acts like he’s seven feet out there. He’s not scared of nothing. He’s going to get in there. He’s getting their rebounds with 7-footers. He’s fighting each position. Anytime you see that from the bench or you see that as a young player, it’s like, ‘Damn, I’ve got to get ready, too.’” National Post

“He just comes at you,” Adelman said. “The other guys, it rubs off on them, how hard he plays. He’s gotten better and better each year. When we first got him he was really inconsistent shooting the ball. Now he’s a good free-throw shooter. He shoots the threes. He’s just got his game where he’s improved it every year.” National Post

Alan Anderson on the Raptors excellent chemistry: "we don't have any knuckleheads" "It’s a younger energy. Guys were looking forward to this season. Guys get along, not only on the court but off the court as well. We all have a good time, we don’t have like groups and cliques and things like that, everyone does everything together. Anytime you have that, you have a good team chemistry." Sulia

Point guard Kyle Lowry’s Raptors debut will have to wait. The team announced on Monday that Lowry will undergo therapy and rehabilitation for a strained adductor muscle suffered in his left leg last week in Halifax. There is no timetable for his return, but he missed Monday’s game against Real Madrid and will be held out of games on Wednesday and Friday against the Detroit Pistons. Toronto Sun

Toronto Raptors point guard Kyle Lowry is trying his hand at entrepreneurship by releasing his own line of juice drinks. What makes Famjuice special, you ask? I don't know, but the tagline at Famjuice.com reads, "Reflavor your taste!" which means, uh, something. Famjuice is currently available for purchase in Philadelphia (Lowry's home town), and Lowry has made it his personal mission to ensure that everyone in the Philly area gets a taste. Deadspin.com

After Bosh bolted for South Beach the team was force to rebuild and this summer marked the first time they have flirted with big name free agents. “We were in a situation the last two years where we were building to this point,” Colangelo admitted this week. “This summer we wanted to accelerate forward. I think the combined moves of the addition of the two draft picks, the addition of a key free agent, the acquisition of Kyle (Lowry), this is all kind of that next step in the evolution of our team.” HoopsAddict.com

Brian Colangelo: “That adds to our already deep position there with Jose Calderon in the fold … Someone who’s performed at a very high level, that’s improved every year in the league. At 26, Kyle represents the future of the position.” Toronto Sun

“I’m not going to tell you that (Calderon) was thrilled about the trade, but in the end, this is about becoming a much better basketball team and that’s my No. 1 concern,” Colangelo said. Toronto Sun

I spoke with José Calderón on tuesday. Told me he thought the Raptors were "on the right track" and that the team needed only "a couple of pieces to get back to the play offs in the East". That could be true, but after the Kyle Lowry trade I fear it will be without him in the roster. Sulia
