Kyle Lowry hasn’t seen the floor much for the 76ers this year during his 20th NBA season, but Monday was bound to be a special night as he returned to Toronto for what could be his final appearance in front of the fans that cheered him on for nine seasons.
The 39-year-old guard checked in for the final two minutes of the fourth quarter as Philadelphia led Toronto by 16 points. Before play could resume, the fans at Scotiabank Arena showered Lowry with an enormous ovation as he stepped onto the floor. Even star Sixers guard Tyrese Maxey pumped up the opposing crowd as he embraced his teammate who had a huge moment in front of him.
