Kyle Lowry says his sprained thumb will be “mind over matter” in Game 1 against Bucks

MILWAUKEE—Kyle Lowry joked about the padded compression glove he wore on his injured left hand Wednesday morning.

The blue glove resembled an oven mitt, but with the fingertips exposed.

Lowry, who missed about three minutes of Sunday’s game when he ran to the locker room to have his sprained thumb taped, said he hadn’t done “much passing or gripping of the basketball” in the two days between games.

“I’m learning how to cook so it comes in handy,” Lowry told a couple dozen reporters at the team’s morning shootaround ahead of Wednesday’s Game 1 of the Eastern Conference final.
