Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reported on a Toronto golf tournament last week that saw Kyle Lowry speak to the media. He discussed the impact of a personal issue that kept him out of nine consecutive games from Jan. 17 to Feb. 1 and another four games from Feb. 28 to March 5.
“I’m still dealing with it,” Lowry said to a group of reporters in Toronto of the family issue, with the Heat scheduled to open training camp on Sept. 27. “It’s a situation when it’s better, I’ll talk about it more, but it’s definitely something that kind of derailed my whole season and kept me derailed for a long time.
