Serious injury to Joel Embiid on the sidelines and aware that the Philadelphia 76ers were missing that something, that support base, Daryl Morey He had an ace up his sleeve and he pulled it off in one more masterful move from the renowned executive in charge of the Pennsylvania team: Kyle Lowry.
As reported by Adrian Wojnarowski, the Sixers have signed the veteran point guard from 37 years until the end of the season 2.8 million. Lowry had just become a free agent after he reached an agreement with the Hornets to break his contract via buyout.
The NBA champion with the Raptors had been traded to Charlotte two weeks ago in the operation that sent Terry Rozier to the Heat. In the North Carolina team, the six-time All-Star did not even debut for the Hornets.
Right at the twilight of his career, Lowry – who will turn 38 in March – will have the opportunity to show himself in the same city in which he was born, Philadelphia. The player announced his arrival in Philly with a nice video.
Although the point guard is no longer the one who led the Raptors to their first title, he still has flashes of a point guard. ring contender as he demonstrated in the last playoffs, guiding the Heat to the Finals from his role as a reliable substitute game director.
Furthermore, on a team of Miami’s demand, Lowry had been the starting point guard for Erik Spoelstra’s team until he was transferred after the departure of Gabe Vincent to the Lakers. He left with decent numbers of 8.2 points, 3.5 rebounds and 4 assists in 28 minutes with 38% in triples.
The former Grizzlies, Rockets, Raptors and Heat will be Tyrese Maxey’s support base, who, despite some inconsistency, is knowing how to take on the role of second star next to Joel Embiid who he played James Harden last year.
Good news has accumulated in Philadelphia in recent days. Apart from the additions of the best shooter of the last five years, Buddy Hieldand Kyle Lowry, the Sixers breathed last night on the court against the Sixers.
Nick Nurse’s team beat the Wizards (113-119) breaking a negative streak of four consecutive losses with 28 points from Tyrese Maxey and 23 from Hield himself in a great debut for the former Pacers, who arrived in Philly on Thursday at the trade deadline. Now all that remains is for Embiid to return. The Sixers pray it will be this season.
