Below is the incident as posted by The Render. Kyle Lowry was trying to secure the rebound while Robinson was trying his best to snatch it away. But as luck would have it, Robinson got tangled up with Lowry's ankle and even landed on it.
The guard quickly grimaced in pain while lying on the floor. Not long after, Lowry limped all the way to the locker room for further testing.

Lowry did not return to the game due to ankle soreness. In 20 minutes of action, he tallied nine points, four rebounds, and six assists. If the injury turns out to be more serious, it will be a huge blow to the Raptors, who are about to head to the playoffs. This applies even more so for Kyle Lowry, who dealt with some ankle problems last week.
With just a few games remaining in the regular season, the Raptors will be faced with a dilemma. They need Lowry to seal the second seed in the East, but at the same time, they also need their floor leader come the postseason.
