Josh Lewenberg: Seems some Raptors fans are concerned about Lowry’s comments (or non-comments) last week. One guy who isn’t worried: Nick Nurse, who met with the All-Star PG in Vegas on Friday and told me he’s confident Kyle will buy in.

Josh Lewenberg: Nick Nurse on Kyle Lowry: “I’m sure he has to show (DeMar) that he’s on his side, but we hope and I think he’ll be OK when he starts playing. That’s one thing Kyle’s going to do, when the ball goes up he’s going to play to win. That’s all he’s ever done, and I don’t see that changing.”
Lowry also detailed the cultural and emotional impact his visit had on him. “[Lowry] took his family with him and did a safari, built homes and learned about Mandela,” Barnes said. “He was extremely moved by it and said it was a great experience. I am excited about doing the same thing.”
Josh Lewenberg: Kyle Lowry wouldn’t answer questions unrelated to USA Basketball, not-so-subtly dodged every trade or Raptors-related question. “I’m here for USAB,” he repeated.
Josh Lewenberg: Do you have a relationship with Kawhi? Lowry: “No.” Have you spoken to him? KL: “I don’t know.” You don’t know if you’ve spoken to him? KL: “No.” What do you mean? KL: “I don’t know if I’ve spoken to him.”
Josh Lewenberg: Lowry, asked when he’ll be ready to look ahead: “When it’s time to. When it’s time I have to be there and go to work I’ll be ready to go to work and I’ll be ready to make my comments and things like that.”
