Lowry set to return, Ibaka out with illness in Raptors’ game vs. T’Wolves

Feb 10, 2020 | 6:22 PM

Toronto Raptors guard Kyle Lowry is expected to play Monday against the visiting Minnesota Timberwolves, but big man Serge Ibaka is sidelined with flu-like symptoms.

Lowry suffered whiplash on Friday night in Indiana when his head slammed into the back of Ibaka, and he missed Toronto’s 119-118 win Saturday over Brooklyn.

The Raptors have been hit hard by injuries this season, with seven key players — Lowry, Ibaka, Marc Gasol, Norman Powell, Pascal Siakam Patrick McCaw and Fred VanVleet — all missing more than 10 games.

The Raptors took a franchise-record and league-best 14-game winning streak into Monday’s game.

Ibaka has been excellent for Toronto in this stretch. He’s averaging 15.9 points and eight rebounds a night.
