Toronto Raptors guard Kyle Lowry diagnosed with left ankle sprain

Kyle Lowry has been diagnosed with a left ankle sprain, the Toronto Raptors announced Monday.

The six-time all-star guard suffered the injury when he stepped on the foot of Chris Chiozza late in the first quarter of Toronto's 150-122 series-clinching rout of Brooklyn on Sunday night. He underwent an MRI on the NBA campus at Walt Disney World near Orlando, Fla.

The team said it will update Lowry's condition as appropriate.

The Raptors open the Eastern Conference semifinals Thursday against the Boston Celtics, the lone team to beat Toronto in the team's 12 games during the NBA restart.
