A symbolic return in Toronto for Kyle Lowry, who receives a standing ovation in the closing minutes of a Philadelphia 76ers win.
Lowry reiterates his plan to eventually retire as a Raptor via a one-day contract.

In Toronto, Kyle Lowry gets a special moment as he checks in for the final 1:57 of the 76ers’ 115-102 win over the Raptors.
The crowd chants “We want Lowry!” and erupts when Nick Nurse sends him onto the floor.

Lowry, a six-time All-Star and 2019 NBA champion with Toronto, returns to action after last playing on Dec. 23 vs Brooklyn.
He describes the reception as one of the greatest moments of his personal career and leaves the floor with the game ball.

In his brief cameo, Lowry misses all three of his three-point attempts, including an airball on his first try, and Nurse notes he drew up an immediate look for him.
Now in his 20th season, Lowry also says his plan to sign a one-day deal to retire as a Raptor “has not changed.”
