The Toronto Raptors have announced that they will honor Kyle Lowry by retiring his jersey number, No. 7, during a ceremony scheduled for January 10 following their game against the Philadelphia 76ers. This recognition will make Lowry only the second player in the team’s history to receive this distinction, alongside Vince Carter. After a remarkable 20-year career in the NBA, the 40-year-old guard officially retired in July by signing a symbolic one-day contract with the Raptors. Lowry expressed his deep appreciation for this honor, emphasizing his long-standing commitment to Toronto as his home and the Raptors as his team. He highlighted the special bond he shares with his teammates, the organization, the city, the fans, and all of Canada, especially after their collective triumph as champions in 2019. During his nine seasons with the Raptors, Lowry played a pivotal role in the team’s success, culminating in their historic NBA title win. As a six-time all-star, he holds franchise records in assists, steals, and three-pointers. The upcoming jersey retirement ceremony promises to be a poignant moment for Lowry, his family, and all those who have supported him throughout his illustrious career.
