Toronto Raptors head coach Nick Nurse says point guard Kyle Lowry, who has been sidelined since Nov. 8 with a thumb injury, is a “possibility” to return to action Tuesday against the Miami Heat.
Lowry told reporters that the fracture in his thumb hasn’t fully healed and his return is day-to-day.
Lowry is also listed as doubtful on the NBA’s official injury report.
After sustaining the injury during a game against the New Orleans Pelicans on Nov. 8, Lowry was diagnosed with a fracture of the distal phalanx of his left thumb. The injury was not related to his previous thumb issue that required off-season surgery.
While Lowry has been out of the lineup, Toronto has posted a 9-2 record. In eight appearances with the Raptors this season, Lowry has averaged 21.8 points per game and 6.5 assists.
