Sprained knee to sideline Rockets' Lowry a week

HOUSTON (AP) -- Houston Rockets point guard Kyle Lowry will be out at least a week with a sprained left knee.

The Rockets said Lowry had an MRI exam on Saturday that confirmed the injury he sustained in Friday's win over Portland.

The 6-foot Lowry came up limping after colliding with LaMarcus Aldridge on a drive in the second quarter. He played another four minutes, then went to the locker room and did not return.

Lowry is the Rockets' fifth-leading scorer (8.7 points per game) and ranks second in assists (4.7 per game) behind starting point guard Aaron Brooks.
