The Toronto Raptors will be without Kyle Lowry for the remainder of Monday night's game due to back spasms

The Toronto Raptors will be without Kyle Lowry for the remainder of Monday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies due to back spasms, according to Raptors PR.

The 34-year-old played seven minutes before exiting the game late in the first quarter.

"I just talked to him and he said he didn’t know when it happened," Raptors coach Nick Nurse said after the game. "Just early in the game."

Lowry is averaging 17.6 points, seven rebounds, and a career-best six rebounds per game this season. He has three games this season, one for personal reasons, and two due to a toe infection. The back spasms are a new injury for Lowry who was not on the Raptors injury report prior to the game.

The Raptors are 3-0 this season without Lowry.
