| SALT LAKE CITY - Just four days after becoming one of the most disputed all-star omissions, Kyle Lowry received his consolation prize from the NBA. Evan Engram Jersey . The Raptors point guard has been named the Eastern Conference Player of the Week for games played Monday, Jan. 27, through Sunday, Feb. 2, the league announced ahead of Torontos meeting with the Jazz on Monday. Lowry led off the week topping 30 points in back-to-back games for the first time in his career - including a season-high 33 points in Wednesdays win over the Magic - carrying his team to a pair of victories without injured leading scorer DeMar DeRozan. Overall, the eighth-year guard averaged 25.0 points and 8.0 assists as Toronto finished the week with a 3-1 record. For Lowry, the recognition is long overdue. "He is one of the best point guards in the league right now," Dwane Casey said in Denver Thursday evening, hours after the all-star reserves were announced and Lowry, despite his body of work this season, was left off the list. DeRozan, a first-time all-star, was voted in by the coaches and will deservedly represent the Raptors in New Orleans later this month but Lowrys case should have been just as, if not more, compelling. Since the early-December trade of Rudy Gay, Lowry has come out of his shell, emerging as the teams leader. Hes been the Raptors most reliable contributor and a big part of the post-trade resurgence. Toronto has won 19 of 29 games since moving Gay, recording 20 or more assists in 23 of those contests. "Me personally, I thought he should have made [the All-Star team]," DeRozan said Thursday. "Especially [with] what he means to this team. There are not too many players that are doing the things he is doing." Lowry, sincerely happy for his teammate, shrugged off the coaches oversight, concerning himself with team success over individual accolades. Similarly, he downplayed a couple nominations for earlier Player of the Week awards and will likely do the same after winning one, but after putting the team on his shoulders this past week, the honour comes well deserved. With DeRozan sidelined for the first time this season, nursing an ankle injury, Lowry engineered a thrilling victory over the surging Nets in Brooklyn to begin the week. In that game, Lowry become the first player this season to record at least 30 points, five rebounds, five assists and five steals, something only LeBron James, Kevin Durant and Kobe Bryant accomplished last year. The 27-year-old is also having a career year from beyond the arch, connecting on 16 of his 36 attempts from three-point range last week. Lowry goes into Mondays game in Utah needing nine more threes to match his career-high for treys in a season (129). Hell also chase down Morris Petersons franchise record for most three-pointers made in a single campaign (177). Lowry became the fifth Raptor to win Player of the Week, joining Chris Bosh, Vince Carter, Mike James and Jalen Rose. Also left off the All-Star squad, Suns guard Goran Dragic - Lowrys former teammate in Houston - captured the award in the West. Darian Thompson Jersey . PETERSBURG, Florida – Its been almost seven years since the Blue Jays last won a series at Tropicana Field. Jonathan Casillas Jersey .FIFA said its appeals panel ruled the case not admissible.The former U.S. Attorney had objected to ethics judge Joachim Eckerts summary of the World Cup bid investigation, claiming numerous materially incomplete and erroneous representations of his work. http://www.nygiantsfanatic.com/c-41-giants-ereck-flowers-jersey.aspx . -- Olympic medallist Jennifer Abel of Laval, Que.ANAHEIM, Calif. -- Anaheim Ducks defenceman Luca Sbisa will be out at least six weeks with a torn tendon in his right hand. The NHL-leading Ducks also announced Saturday that goalie Viktor Fasth will miss another 3-4 weeks with muscle inflammation in his lower body. Sbisa and Fasth went on the injured list, and Anaheim recalled goalie Frederik Andersen and defenceman Nolan Yonkman from Norfolk of the AHL. The Ducks recalled defenceman Sami Vatanen from Norfolk on Friday. Sbisa and Fasth had both endured significant injury problems already this season, even before their current woes. Sbisa, who missed the first 15 games of the regular season with an injured ankle, was hurt again during the Ducks 1-0 overtime victory over Tampa Bay on Friday. The Swiss defenceman will have surgery on his wrist Monday. Fasth was expected to start Friday, but the Ducks said he was hurt in warmups. The Swedish goalie missed a month earlier this season with a lower-body injury, limitting him to just five appearances. Lawrence Taylor Jersey. Andersen made a phenomenal start to his NHL career while filling in for Fasth as Jonas Hillers backup, going 6-1 with a 1.66 goals-against average and .943 save percentage. He was the first goalie in nearly two decades to begin his NHL career with six straight victories. The 32-year-old Yonkman signed with Anaheim in July after playing for Washington, Phoenix and Florida. Anaheim has fought through major injury issues while leading the overall NHL standings for much of the season. Centre Saku Koivu hasnt played since Oct. 27 after getting a concussion. New forward Jakob Silfverberg broke his hand in late October, sidelining him for at least a month after a promising start with the Ducks. Defenceman Sheldon Souray is still out after having surgery on a torn ligament in his right wrist in August. Anaheim, which played at Phoenix on Saturday night, had lost five straight before beating the Lightning.
