Kyle Lowry was given a warm welcome by his former team’s fanbase
For nearly a decade, Kyle Lowry led the Raptors to unprecedented success, culminating in the franchise’s first championship following the 2018–19 season. As a result, he was welcomed back to Toronto this weekend with appropriate reverence.
Lowry, now a member of the Heat, returned to the city of his former franchise on Sunday for a regular-season matchup between the two Eastern Conference teams. Prior to the game getting underway, he was given a fitting tribute video before receiving a standing ovation from the Raptors faithful. Lowry played for the Raptors from 2012 to ’21, making six All-Star teams and earning an All-NBA Third Team recognition. He also became the franchise leader in assists, steals and three-point field goals.
