DeMar DeRozan's hard foul on Bojan Bogdanovic has proved costly. The Toronto Raptors guard was fined $15,000 (U.S.) on Thursday, a day after he threw his body into Bogdanovic, sending the big Nets forward sprawling to the floor. DeRozan was assessed a flagrant 2 foul and ejected with 1:02 to play in the Raptors' 109-93 loss to the Nets.

Toronto Raptors guard Kyle Lowry will participate in the 2015 skills challenge as part of the NBA's all-star weekend, the league announced Thursday.

He is the second Raptor to take part in the event following DeMar DeRozan last year. The skills challenge takes place Saturday night.

Wednesday's loss was the Raptors' first of the season against an Atlantic Division opponent, and dropped their record to 33-17
