What It Means:

Lowry sprained his ankle in Game 2, and while he was active, the point guard did not play a minute in Game 3. With the Raptors down 0-3 in the series, the club doesn't want to make the injury any worse as their season is coming to an end. Cory Joseph will get another start at the point for the Raps.

Joseph scored just four points on 2-for-12 shooting in Game 3. He added three rebounds, six assists, and one steal in 33 minutes played.
