Kyle Lowry returns from bruised tailbone vs. Sixers

Toronto Raptors point guard Kyle Lowry will return from a tailbone injury on Monday against the Philadelphia 76ers, the team announced.

Lowry missed the past three games after suffering a scary collision in last Monday's win over the Brooklyn Nets. He needed to be helped off the court by teammates, but his injury was categorized as day to day upon further examination.

Toronto went 1-2 in Lowry's absence, although the two losses were by a combined three points to the surging Golden State Warriors and Miami Heat, while the win was a 34-point drubbing of the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Lowry is averaging 16.2 points, 6.1 rebounds, and seven assists this season while shooting 39.2 percent from deep.
