Kyle Lowry, nearing the end of his NBA career, remains an active force. While his days as an All-Star are behind him, he continues to contribute as a resilient role player. After a stint with the Philadelphia 76ers last season, following a trade from the Miami Heat, Lowry is now a free agent.
Reports indicate that the Los Angeles Clippers are interested in signing him for the 2024 season. However, speculation suggests Lowry is likely to remain with the 76ers. NBA insider Marc Stein predicts that the Philadelphia native will opt to stay with his hometown team, citing strong ties and a comfortable fit within the organization.

During his brief tenure with the Sixers, Lowry averaged 8.0 points, 4.6 assists, and 2.8 rebounds per game. He provided valuable leadership on the court alongside Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey, playing under former Raptors coach Nick Nurse. Lowry’s experience and commitment to the team have made him a key figure in Philadelphia’s roster plans.
Having grown up in Philadelphia and played college basketball nearby at Villanova, Lowry sees playing for the Sixers as a dream fulfilled. Reflecting on his journey, he expressed gratitude for the opportunity to compete in front of family and friends, emphasizing his readiness to contribute to the team’s playoff aspirations.
As the offseason progresses, the 76ers aim to bolster their roster to challenge rivals like the Boston Celtics. Retaining Lowry may not represent a monumental upgrade, but it would provide crucial continuity and add a fiercely competitive veteran presence to the team’s lineup.
