Kyle Lowry 'probably doubtful' for Game 4 vs. Cavs
If the Toronto Raptors want to avoid a sweep against the Cleveland Cavaliers on Sunday, they'll likely have to do so without the services of Kyle Lowry once again.
The All-Star point guard told reporters Saturday that he's "probably doubtful" to take the floor in Game 4 due to his ankle injury, reports Eric Koreen of The Athletic.
"It's not looking great, but I'm not giving up on it," he added.
Lowry sat out Friday's debilitating 115-94 loss to the reigning NBA champions at Air Canada Centre, which put the Raptors down 3-0 in their best-of-seven series.
It was at Quicken Loans Arena on Wednesday when Tristan Thompson flung Lowry back into teammate Norman Powell, resulting in his ankle sprain.
Lowry - who is eligible to hit unrestricted free agency this summer - is averaging 15.8 points on 46.2 percent shooting from the field in eight playoff appearances this year, along with 5.9 assists and 1.5 steals.
