Raptors to retire Kyle Lowry’s No. 7 on Jan. 10

TORONTO – The Toronto Raptors will retire Kyle Lowry’s No. 7 following their Jan. 10 game against the Philadelphia 76ers.

Lowry will become the second player in franchise history to have his number raised to the rafters at Scotiabank Arena, joining Vince Carter.

The 40-year-old retired in July after signing a one-day contract with Toronto to end his 20-year NBA career as a Raptor.

Lowry spent nine seasons in Toronto and helped the Raptors win their first NBA championship in 2019.

The six-time all-star is the franchise’s career leader in assists, steals and three-pointers.

Toronto will also celebrate Lowry with special events at home games against Minnesota on Jan. 7 and Utah on Jan. 8.
