76ers Re-sign Kyle Lowry on 1-Year Contract
The Philadelphia 76ers have secured an agreement to re-sign Kyle Lowry to a one-year contract, as confirmed by his agent to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski on Thursday.
Lowry, an 18-year NBA veteran, joined the 76ers midway through last season after being acquired by the Charlotte Hornets from the Miami Heat and subsequently waived.
During his tenure with the 76ers, the 38-year-old averaged eight points per game, contributed 4.6 assists, and maintained a 40.4% success rate from beyond the arc. He started all six of the team's playoff games.
Lowry, who previously made six All-Star appearances with the Toronto Raptors and won the 2019 NBA championship with them, brings significant experience to Philadelphia.
The 76ers have significantly altered their roster this offseason, with only superstar Joel Embiid and reserve Ricky Council remaining from last season without entering free agency.
The team's most notable acquisition was Paul George from the Los Angeles Clippers on a maximum contract.
Alongside Lowry and George, the 76ers have also signed free agents Eric Gordon and Andre Drummond, all of whom have over a decade of NBA experience. This gives the 76ers one of the league's oldest rosters.
