The Toronto Raptors are concerned with the lingering elbow injury of Kyle Lowry.

Lowry initially hurt his elbow when the Raptors were in London.

Lowry shot around 85% from the line over the first few months of the season, 78% in February, but has hit at just a 70% clip in March, including just 50% over the past three games since he hurt his elbow again.

Lowry got the elbow drained on Monday and they're not sure if rest will help it.

The status of DeMarre Carroll is in doubt for the Toronto Raptors.

Carroll was close to a return a few weeks ago with his next step being clearance for contact.

Carroll was then in Atlanta tending to personal matters but he's returned now.

The Raptors believe Carroll will need more time and only a deep playoff run would ensure he returns this season.

The plantar fasciitis that Carroll had earlier this season made him compensate a bit and led to the knee trouble that led to surgery.

Kyle Lowry has been named Eastern Conference Player of the Week for games played March 14-20.

Lowry earns the honor for the fourth time as a member of the Raptors and the fifth time in his career. Lowry ranked fourth in East scoring last week averaging 27.2 points and led the NBA in fourth quarter scoring at 10.8 points. He also posted 6.8 assists, 6.4 rebounds, 2.2 steals and shot .471 (16-for-34) from three-point range while helping Toronto post a 4-1 record.

Lowry recorded double-doubles on consecutive nights March 14 vs. Chicago (33 points, 11 rebounds) and March 15 at Milwaukee (25 points, 11 assists) to start the week. He followed up by scoring eight of the team’s 16 points in overtime March 17 at Indiana and then 13 of his game-high 32 points in the fourth quarter March 18 versus Boston.

Kevin Durant won the award for the Western Conference.

Durant led the Thunder to a 4-0 week behind averages of 26.8 points (tied for first in the Western Conference), 9.5 rebounds and 7.5 assists.  

DeAndre Daniels has been cleared to play. 

Daniels suffered a broken fifth metatarsal in his right foot as a member of the Raptors' entry in the 2015 NBA Summer League in Las Vegas in July.

Last season, Daniels appeared in 30 games with the Perth Wildcats of the National Basketball League (Australia), where he averaged 14.8 points, 7.7 rebounds and 30.7 minutes. He was the Raptors’ second-round pick (37th overall) in the 2014 NBA Draft.

DeMarre Carroll is in New York City on Thursday to receive clearance from the doctor that performed his right knee surgery.

Carroll could soon return to a full practice participant with the Toronto Raptors.

Carroll underwent the surgery in early January.

Carroll has averaged 11.7 points, 4.8 rebounds and 31.9 minutes in 23 games.
