Kyle Lowry suffers ankle injury after collision with Norman Powell
Kyle Lowry briefly left Wednesday’s playoff game between the Toronto Raptors and Cleveland Cavaliers after going down with what an ankle injury early in the third quarter.
The Cavs’ Kevin Love attempted a three-pointer that missed. Under the basket, Tristan Thompson was fighting for the rebound and shoved the Raptors’ Norman Powell. Powell then rolled into Lowry like a bowling pin, knocking the guard to the ground.

Lowry immediately grabbed his lower leg and crawled his way off the court. He walked off the court and into the locker room and could be seen limping.
The Cavs were leading the Raptors 64-48 at the time of Lowry’s exit. Lowry was playing well and had 15 points on 6-for-9 shooting prior to the injury.
He didn’t miss a lot of action as he quickly returned to the team’s bench after being examined in the locker room and checked back into the game with 10:18 left in the third quarter.
