The Raptors have gone a surprising 14-7 in his absence, climbing out of a dire freefall to the fifth spot in the East to a virtual tie with the Washington Wizards for the No. 3 seed.

Casey said his priorities rest with Lowry getting acquainted and comfortable with his new teammates on the floor as well as getting a bit of game tempo in his legs with only four games to go before the start of the playoffs.

K-Low's scoring punch and playmaking will be an undeniable asset for the team come playoff time, averaging 22.8, 6.9 assists, 4.7 rebounds, and 1.4 steals, while shooting a career-high 41.7 percent from deep this season.
