Per ESPN<\/a>, “Let me say this: I will retire as a Toronto Raptor,” Lowry said after the team practiced Wednesday night ahead of the start of the second half of the season in Tampa, Florida, against the Atlanta Hawks.<\/p>\n“What I would like to see is to finish this season out as strong as possible,” Lowry said.<\/p>\n
“At the end of the day, myself, my agent, the organization, everyone has to do what’s best for them, right? Everyone has to do what’s best for them, and that situation.<\/p>\n
“Who knows what that is, right? Who knows what that’s going to be, who knows what that time is going to tell? For me, I know I’m still playing at a good enough level where I can help a team, I can help us, and get better.”<\/p>\n
“I don’t really get into that stuff, and it doesn’t bother me because rumors are rumors and they will always be,” Lowry said. “But when something is said that doesn’t verbally come from me and I haven’t said anything, that’s when it gets to the point of, ‘Did you have me on record saying that? I want to know who the source is, because the source is me.’<\/p>\n
“That stuff is where you kind of defend yourself. I don’t really care about it. It’s just to defend myself for a quick second.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
