The Toronto Raptors will get their starting floor general Kyle Lowry back on the floor tonight against the Philadelphia 76ers. The 6-foot point guard indicated he plans to play today against the Sixers, according to Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer.

Lowry had missed the last three games with a back injury, resulting in the Raptors snapping their five-game win streak and going 1-2 without him, falling to the Miami Heat and the Golden State Warriors in close affairs.

The Raptors did manage a huge 133-99 win over the defending Eastern Conference Champions Cleveland Cavaliers, even without big man Serge Ibaka, who was serving a one-game suspension.

The 11-year pro has failed to live up to last season's gaudy All-Star-caliber expectations, averaging a mere 16.2 points, but rounding it out with seven assists and 6.2 rebounds per game as a much more-rounded player under Dwane Casey's new offensive system.

Lowry has still proved a formidable three-point shooter, making 2.9 treys per game at a 39.2 percent clip, while knocking down shots at the stripe at 87.8 percent.

Toronto has proved to be one of the league's best offensive forces with this revamped, high-tempo, less-guard-centric style of play that features backcourt mate DeMar DeRozan as the leading scorer (25.4 points per game) and has nearly five players averaging double figures (Lowry, DeRozan, Ibaka, Jonas Valanciunas, C.J. Miles).

The Raptors have won six of their last eight games and will face tough tests in a back-to-back scenario at the end of the week against the San Antonio Spurs and the Minnesota Timberwolves after facing the Detroit Pistons on Wednesday.
