Raptors' Kyle Lowry undergoes successful wrist surgery
Toronto Raptors point guard Kyle Lowry underwent successful right wrist surgery Tuesday afternoon, and he's expected to miss the next 4-5 weeks of action.
What It Means:
Cory Joseph is worth owning in most leagues while he serves Toronto's starting point guard, and DeMar DeRozan will continue to see Russell Westbrook-esque usage numbers. Fred VanVleet and Delon Wright should also benefit. Don't hesitate to cut Lowry in season-long leagues if your season doesn't extend past his expected recovery timeline.
Joseph is averaging 16.0 points, 5.0 assists, 2.3 rebounds and 1.5 steals in four starts this season. He's seeing 35.0 minutes per game and shooting 54.7 percent from the field with the first unit.
