After being initially listed as questionable to play against the Detroit Pistons tonight, star Toronto Raptors point guard Kyle Lowry will not only be active, he will be a starter, too.

Fellow Raptors Jalen Harris, Patrick McCaw, Paul Watson, and DeAndre Bembry will be out for the contest in Detroit.

Lowry was ruled out prior to Sunday night's loss to the Portland Trail Blazers due to soreness in his right foot.

The six-time all-star has only appeared in one game since the Raptors elected to keep him past the NBA Trade Deadline on March 25 -- a 104-100 loss to the Phoenix Suns in which he scored 11 points and added six assists.

In his ninth season with the Raptors, the 34-year-old is averaging 17.2 points, 5.6 rebounds, and 7.4 assists on 43.7/38.9/88.4 shooting.

Toronto's game versus Detroit airs at 8 p.m. ET on Sportsnet ONE.
