Toronto Raptors guard Kyle Lowry (ankle) is available to play in Sunday's Eastern Conference semifinal matchup series opener against the Celtics, per The Athletic's Shams Charania.

ANALYSIS: Lowry is the veteran leader of the Raptors and his impact on and off the floor is immeasurable. It's great news for Nick Nurse, as the team will have its hands full against a well-balanced Celtics' squad that shares the ball and defends.
