Toronto Raptors point guard Kyle Lowry will play Wednesday against the Atlanta Hawks.

Lowry had his right elbow drained after Monday's loss to the Thunder. The 29-year-old has been battling the injury since January, according to TSN's Josh Lewenberg.

The Villanova product is averaging 21.6 points, 6.5 assists, 4.8 rebounds, and 2.1 steals in 71 games this season. Lowry has been integral to the Raptors' success, with Toronto performing more than nine points per 100 possessions better with him on the court.

Lowry ranks second in the NBA in minutes per game (37.2) and is likely to see some rest in the coming weeks, with the Raptors locking up a playoff spot earlier this month.

Terrence Ross is set to return after a three-game absence. Jason Thompson will move to the starting lineup as Luis Scola sits with a sore left knee.
