Kyle Lowry sits vs. Celtics with sore elbow

Toronto Raptors point guard Kyle Lowry was active Wednesday against the Boston Celtics, but didn't see the floor as the team sat its All-Star floor general due to a sore right elbow.

Lowry was recently named NBA Player of the Week after averaging 27.2 points, 6.8 assists, 6.4 rebounds, and 2.2 steals on 47.1 percent shooting from deep.

It was just the second time all season Lowry didn't play. He was held out for rest Feb. 28 in a 13-point loss to the Detroit Pistons.

The 29-year-old is averaging a career-high 21.9 points, 6.4 assists, and five rebounds in 68 appearances for the 48-21 Raptors, who can clinch a playoff berth for a third-straight season with a victory.
