Editor’s note: Kyle Lowry was given a very warm welcome during his return to Toronto.
In his playing prime, Lowry never would have graced the media with an appearance before a game while his Philadelphia Eagles were playing — much less push 10 minutes in responding to queries after the Eagles had just surrendered a touchdown in a playoff game. He also wouldn’t let anything get in between him and the utterance of a four-letter word.
“Sometimes, I try to talk to those guys as a coach,” Lowry said of working with his Philadelphia 76ers teammates, Tyrese Maxey and VJ Edgecombe, young guards who are the pillars of the team. “As a player, I wish I could say certain things or say, ‘Do this or do that.’ It’s that balance of I know I’m not on the court, so I can’t yell at them or curse at them. But I can say, ‘Hey, here are the things I see. Let’s try to do that.'”

There's never been a doubt in Kyle Lowry's mind about which team he'll walk into the sunset with.
Ahead of perhaps his final games in Toronto on Sunday and Monday (Sportsnet ONE, Sportsnet+, 7:30 p.m. ET / 4:30 p.m. PT), Lowry confirmed his intention to sign a one-day contract and retire as a member of the Raptors when he finally decides to call it a career.
"My goal — and I've committed to this and I'll go from what I say — I will sign a one-day contract and retire as a Raptor. That has not changed," Lowry told reporters ahead of the Philadelphia 76ers' showdown in Scotiabank Arena.
