Kyle Lowry lying on the Bankers Life Fieldhouse court, writhing in pain and clutching his shoulder, was the worst nightmare imaginable for Toronto Raptors fans.
The heart and soul of the franchise left Friday night’s 115-106 victory over the Indiana Pacers late in the third quarter with what team officials termed whiplash. He will be evaluated further on Saturday before the team faces the Brooklyn Nets at Scotiabank Arena.
Lowry’s injury took some of the joy away from yet another outstanding Raptors performance as they pulled away in the final six minutes to extend their franchise-record winning streak to 13 games.
