Kyle Lowry Retires as Toronto Legend | Toronto Raptors News

Kyle Lowry, the undersized warrior who turned doubters into believers, is officially retiring — and he’s doing it in style, signing a one-day contract with the Toronto Raptors, the team he led to an NBA title in 2019. Drafted 24th overall by Memphis in 2006, Lowry defied expectations, becoming a six-time All-Star and playing in 1,187 games across five teams. His Toronto years were legendary — averaging 17.5 points, 5 rebounds, 7 assists, and 1.5 steals — while also evolving into a deadly shooter, hitting over 37% of his threes. Now 40, he wrapped up his final season with the 76ers in a mentorship role. With his basketball IQ and leadership, coaching feels like a natural next chapter — but no matter what he does, Lowry’s legacy is already etched in Toronto history as a championship architect and franchise icon.
