Lowry Vital to Raptors' Playoff Hopes

Lowry dealt with back spasms toward the end of the 2014-15 NBA campaign and suffered a left shin contusion in Toronto's loss to Washington in Game 2 of its opening-round playoff series thereafter.

He is a hard-nosed defender and creates plenty of offense for himself and his teammates, averaging 20.9 points, 5.0 rebounds, 6.4 assists and 2.2 steals per contest this season.

Reserve point guard Cory Joseph arrived this offseason from San Antonio. The Toronto native can provide some offense, but Joseph is most known for his tenacious on-ball defense, which is the end of the floor the Raptors need to focus on as they seek to ascend higher in the East.

With rookie Delon Wright as the only other guard behind Lowry on the depth chart, Toronto will be happy to see its star back on the floor.
