Kyle Lowry: Ben Simmons Said Elbow to Groin Wasn't Intentional; 'Not a Big Deal'
Toronto Raptors point guard Kyle Lowry isn't looking to make a big deal out of a questionable elbow from the Philadelphia 76ers' Ben Simmons during Game 3 on Thursday night.
Early in the second quarter, Lowry wound up undercutting Simmons while trying to box him out, sending the Sixers star to the floor. As Lowry stood above him directly after the fall, Simmons appeared to take a shot at the five-time All-Star below the belt:
No foul was called on the play.
After the game, Lowry said he didn't believe it was an intentional elbow from Simmons.
"It's nothing," Lowry said, according to TSN Sports' Josh Lewenberg. "He said he didn't mean to do it. I'm not gonna dwell on something that wasn't called. It is what it is. It's not a big deal."
It's important to note these two have a history. Lowry and Simmons were both ejected from a game back on Jan. 15, 2018 after they exchanged words in the final seconds. Simmons appeared to motion to his opponent that he'd meet him behind the scenes, but nothing came of it—although not because Lowry wasn't down for it.
