Lowry likely out Saturday after suffering whiplash in win over Pacers
The Toronto Raptors notched their 13th straight win Friday night against the Indiana Pacers, but in true team fashion this season, it didn't come without another injury.
Point guard Kyle Lowry left the contest and did not return after suffering whiplash when he collided with teammate Serge Ibaka in the third quarter.

X-rays came back negative, but head coach Nick Nurse said Lowry is unlikely to play Saturday at home against the Brooklyn Nets, according to The Athletic's Eric Koreen.
"After I should have been and-oned, I ran into Serge's body," Lowry joked afterward.
Lowry scored 16 points before the injury and surpassed Vince Carter for third all time in franchise points. He's due to play in next weekend's All-Star Game in Chicago.
The Raptors extended their franchise record with their 13th straight victory and remain in second place in the Eastern Conference despite losing 172 man games to injury this season.
