Lowry finished with one rebound, one assist and one steal over 12 minutes during Friday's 108-98 win over the Hornets.
Lowry continues his downward slide, failing to score for the sixth time this season. Now aged 38, it is clear Lowry can no longer be viewed as a consistent contributor. In 18 games, he is averaging just 4.8 points, 2.7 assists and 1.1 steals in 21.1 minutes per game.

76ers' Kyle Lowry: Not on injury report
Rotowire
Lowry (back) isn't listed on the injury report for Monday's game against the Hornets.
Lowry was a late scratch Friday against the Pacers due to back spasms, but the veteran should return to action Monday. With Jared McCain (knee) out for the season, Lowry's role could increase again. He averaged 24.2 minutes per game across the first 13 games this season but hasn't played more than 13 minutes in a game since Nov. 18.

76ers' Kyle Lowry: Late addition to injury report
Rotowire
Lowry is listed as questionable for Friday's game versus the Pacers due to lower back spasms.
Lowry has been seeing limited playing time of late, logging less than 15 minutes in each of his past three contests. He's now dealing with back spasms. Reggie Jackson could get a bit of run in the rotation Friday if Lowry isn't able to suit up.

76ers' Kyle Lowry: Good to go Friday
Rotowire
Lowry (hip) has been removed from the injury report for Friday's game against Orlando.
After a recent five-game absence due to a right hip injury, Lowry returned to action Tuesday and played 13 minutes off the bench in Tuesday's 110-104 win over the Hornets. He then sat out Wednesday's 106-102 loss to Orlando, though his absence was strictly for maintenance purposes in the second leg of the back-to-back set. Lowry will be available for the rematch with Orlando but may not see a dramatic uptick in playing time.

76ers' Kyle Lowry: Won't play Wednesday
Rotowire
Lowry will not play Wednesday against the Magic due to right hip injury recovery.
After playing 13 minutes in his return from a five-game absence in Wednesday's win over the Hornets, Lowry will be held out for rest purposes Wednesday. Look for the veteran to be back in action for Friday's rematch with Orlando.

76ers' Kyle Lowry: Handles light role in return
Rotowire
Lowry (hip) played 13 minutes and finished with zero points (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt) and three rebounds in Tuesday's 110-104 win over the Hornets.
Lowry made his return to action after missing the 76ers' previous five games with a right hip strain. The 38-year-old had started in each of his prior five appearances before suffering the injury, but he looks poised to handle a regular bench role moving forward with Tyrese Maxey back healthy again after missing six games in November with a hamstring strain. With rookie Jared McCain having emerged as the 76ers' lead guard off the bench, Lowry may be hard pressed to earn much more than 15-to-20 minutes per game even once he's further removed from the hip injury.

76ers' Kyle Lowry: Available Tuesday
Rotowire
Lowry (hip) is available for Tuesday's game against the Hornets.
Lowry hasn't played since Nov. 18 due to a right hip strain, but he'll suit up for this contest and will presumably deliver minutes off the bench. However, he'll have a limited role and isn't expected to see a lot of action.

76ers' Kyle Lowry: Expected to suit up Tuesday
Rotowire
Lowry (hip) is probable for Tuesday's game against the Hornets.
Lowry hasn't played since Nov. 18 due to a right hip strain. Even if he's cleared to play, the veteran will likely have a limited role, as Tyrese Maxey and rookie Jared McCain have emerged as the leaders of Philly's backcourt.

76ers' Kyle Lowry: Remains out for Saturday
Rotowire
Lowry (hip) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Pistons, Adam Aaronson of PhillyVoice.com reports.
Lowry will miss his fifth consecutive game due to a right hip strain. With the veteran point guard sidelined, Jared McCain should continue starting, with Ricky Council and Reggie Jackson likely seeing an uptick in playing time off the bench. Lowry's next chance to play will come Tuesday against the Hornets.

Lowry (hip) will not play Wednesday against Houston, Paul Hudrick of Liberty Ballers reports.

76ers' Kyle Lowry: Out for next three games
Rotowire
The 76ers announced Tuesday that Lowry has a right hip strain and will miss the team's next three games before being re-evaluated early next week, Tony Jones of The Athletic reports.
Lowry likely suffered the injury in Monday's 106-89 loss to Miami. With Tyrese Maxey (hamstring) expected to return to action this week, Lowry was likely to lose his spot in the starting five even if he hadn't been dealing with the hip injury. Jared McCain should end up serving as Maxey's partner in the starting backcourt, while Lowry's absence could open up a few extra minutes off the bench for Jeff Dowtin and Eric Gordon.

76ers' Kyle Lowry: Scoreless in 19 minutes
Rotowire
Lowry ended Monday's 106-89 loss to the Heat with zero points (0-3 FG, 0-3 3Pt), one rebound, one assist and one steal in 19 minutes.
This was Lowry's second scoreless dud in his last four outings, all of which have been losses for the 76ers. He's looked a step slow in recent games, and he's been unable to take advantage of his opportunities with Tyrese Maxey (hamstring) on the shelf.

76ers' Kyle Lowry: Quiet in Friday's start
Rotowire
Lowry closed with five points (1-7 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, six assists and one block across 32 minutes during Friday's 116-106 loss to the Lakers.
With Tyrese Maxey (hamstring) sidelined, Lowry made his fifth start of the season and saw a season high in minutes. The increased workload didn't lead to increased production, however. The 38-year-old point guard is no longer the scoring threat he was in his Raptors heyday, but Lowry's assists, threes and steals might provide some deep-league fantasy value while he's in an elevated role.

76ers' Kyle Lowry: To fill in at point guard
Rotowire
Lowry is expected to start at point guard while Tyrese Maxey (hamstring) recovers from injury, Adam Aaronson of PhillyVoice.com reports.
Lowry was the likely candidate to enter the starting lineup in Maxey's place, but it's still nice to hear confirmation from head coach Nick Nurse. Lowry has already made four starts this season, averaging 8.3 points, 2.0 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 2.0 steals in 21.8 minutes. Nurse also noted that Reggie Jackson would work as the backup to Lowry, while Jeff Dowtin could also factor into the rotation in the backcourt.

76ers' Kyle Lowry: Plays well off bench
Rotowire
Lowry finished Monday's 118-116 loss to the Suns with 13 points (5-8 FG, 3-6 3Pt), two rebounds, seven assists, one block and one steal in 28 minutes.
Lowry moved to a reserve role Monday with Paul George (knee) making his 2024-25 regular-season debut. However, the veteran point guard was still able to make a solid impact, and that may continue to be the case while Joel Embiid (knee) and his massive usage rate are on the shelf.

76ers' Kyle Lowry: Reverts to bench Monday
Rotowire
Lowry is not in the 76ers' starting lineup for Monday's game against the Suns, Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
Lowry has been in the starting lineup in each of the last four games, but he will revert to a reserve role Monday as Paul George (knee) makes his 2024-25 regular-season debut. Through the first five games of the campaign, Lowry is averaging 9.2 points, 2.6 assists, 2.4 rebounds and 1.6 steals over 22.2 minutes per game.

76ers' Kyle Lowry: Scores in double figures
Rotowire
Lowry produced 10 points (3-4 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds, one assist and two steals in 21 minutes during Saturday's 124-107 loss to the Grizzlies.
Lowry was one of three Philly starters to finish in double figures, and he did so by attempting only four shots from the field. This has been the norm so far this year for the veteran guard, who's averaging 4.6 field-goal attempts over five appearances. Lowry is unlikely to light up the scoreboard for fantasy managers this year, but he's made the most of his chances, averaging 9.2 points, 2.4 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 1.6 steals in 22.2 minutes.

76ers' Kyle Lowry: Decent output Friday
Rotowire
Lowry totaled 14 points (3-5 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 5-5 FT), one rebound, two assists and three steals over 29 minutes during Friday's 115-107 loss to the Raptors.
Lowry started for the first time this season, and coincidentally, he did it against the Raptors, the franchise for which he played nine seasons between 2012 and 2020. The veteran floor general was efficient, and he probably did enough to remain in the starting lineup for the time being -- at least until Joel Embiid (knee) and Paul George (knee) are back in the mix.

76ers' Kyle Lowry: Moves into starting lineup
Rotowire
Lowry will start Friday's game against the Raptors, Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reports.
After a disappointing performance against the Bucks, coach Nick Nurse has removed Eric Gordon and KJ Martin from the starting lineup and replaced them with Lowry and Caleb Martin. Lowry posted 13 points (4-7 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 2-4 FT), six assists and four rebounds in 24 minutes off the bench during Wednesday's 124-109 loss to Milwaukee.
