Kyle Lowry plans to sign a 1-day contract to retire with the Toronto Raptors. 🤝

He has committed to signing a one day contract to officially retire as a raptor, closing out a 20 year career that ranks him first in franchise history in assists, steals and three pointers made. He anchored toronto through nine seasons and delivered the franchise's only championship in 2019, but his biggest impact was always the locker room.

Teammates and coaches point to the standard he set and the competitiveness he demanded, a presence that followed him to miami and philadelphia as a mentor late in his career. His retirement will likely reopen talk of raising his number 7, an honor the franchise has given just one player. 🙏🏻

The dream we never got to witness. 💔

The LeBron, Luka & AR Big 3… gone before it ever became reality. 🏆

No unforgettable moments.
No championship chase.
No history.

Now, the King could be standing on the opposite sideline…

LeBron vs. Luka & AR. 👀🍿

A matchup nobody expected… but everyone will be watching.

I went up to the facility, and my key card got rejected. Damn, I just wanted to see if it was real, packed me up, bro."

The biggest domino hasn’t fallen yet.

The entire NBA is waiting on LeBron James.

One decision. One signature. One move.

When LeBron chooses his next chapter, expect the rest of the league to erupt. Trades will happen. Contenders will reload. The NBA landscape could change overnight.

The King holds the key. 👑

Stephen A. Smith on the Lakers best players being white:

"I'm saying it. Your three best players are white dudes.
This ain't golf. And we got a whole bunch of brothers on team USA. This is basketball, what y'all think this is?"

Jaylen Brown Explains That He Wasn't Given A Reason For Why He Was Traded, And Is Confused Still:

"Just tell me what it is, I would have understood, I would have respected that. It didn't go down that way."
