Kyle Lowry ousted from game, Raptors lose

NBA Update: The Raptors’ loss to the Suns on Sunday in Toronto was an all-around mess.
All-Stars DeMar DeRozan and Kyle Lowry didn’t finish the game and several fans were ejected for throwing objects at the Suns’ bench late in the fourth quarter of the 115-103 loss.
DeRozan exited with a right ankle injury after stepping on Jonas Valanciunas’ foot halfway through the fourth quarter. He played through the pain for a bit but left with 1:30 remaining in the game.
Lowry’s night ended early after he was assessed a flagrant 2 foul for hitting Suns guard Brandon Knight across the head.
