Lowry: Nothing to be done about thumb until off-season except play through pain
MILWAUKEE — Kyle Lowry will be playing in pain for the rest of the post-season.
Whether the Raptors’ thrilling playoff run ends against Milwaukee, or Toronto goes on to make its first appearance in the NBA Finals in franchise history, the point guard said the pain will be a constant companion.
“I will not be able to get it taken care of until after the season’s over,” Lowry said at Thursday morning’s shootaround.
The 33-year-old Lowry injured the thumb during Game 7 of the conference semifinals against Philadelphia when he fell on it and it “popped out.” He’s since been wearing a blue compression glove — his “oven mitt” as he calls it — that helps with circulation.
