Raptors' Lowry to debut on Wednesday

The Toronto Raptors expect new starting point guard Kyle Lowry to make his debut with the team this Wednesday in a pre-season game with the Washington Wizards.

Lowry has been unavailable since early in the pre-season due to a groin injury. He returned to full practice on Sunday and will look to get his first live action in a Raptors uniform on Wednesday.

The Raptors are currently undermanned at the point guard position as Jose Calderon went down in a pre-season game on Friday with a hamstring injury suffered against the Detroit Pistons. Calderon returned to practice on Monday but there is no projected date for his return.

Lowry also dressed on Friday but did not enter the game.
