Philadelphia 76ers make Kyle Lowry a first-round pick and a long-term play…

Most in NBA circles anticipate the 38-year-old veteran free agent, Kyle Lowry, to re-sign with the 76ers. With the Free Agency set to begin shortly, fans will not have to wait long to find out if the rumors are true.

That being said, like nearly every player in the NBA, there seem to be mixed feelings among 76ers fans regarding the potential of bringing back the veteran. Here you can find three reasons why the City of Brotherly Love should welcome a Kyle Lowry return.

Coming over to Philadelphia in the middle of the season, Lowry appeared in 23 regular season games for the 76ers and was a starter in 20. In his 28 minutes per game, Lowry was a pretty solid contributor at times and helped the Sixers win games, ultimately earning them a playoff spot. Lowry had seven double-digit scoring outputs and 12 games of five assists or more.

The 76ers had more than their fair share of injury woes in the 2023-24 season. Throughout March and April, Lowry remained a staple of the starting lineup while providing veteran leadership and stability.
