The Toronto Raptors will have to finish this regular season without the services of All-Star point guard Kyle Lowry, who will undergo a procedure to remove loose bodies in his right wrist Wednesday (AEDT).

The Raptors announced it this afternoon but did not give a specific date for his expected return, terming it simply that he will “aim to return for playoffs.”
Lowry missed both of the Raptors’ games since the All-Star Game with the sore wrist. In 56 games this season, he averaged 22.8 points, a team-high 6.9 assists, 4.7 rebounds and 1.4 steals.
The Raptors have six-year veteran Cory Joseph in place to fill in for Lowry as a starter until his return.
