Shams Charania: Free agent guard Kyle Lowry has agreed to a one-year deal to return to the Philadelphia 76ers, Mark Bartelstein of @PrioritySports tells ESPN. The 2019 champion is back for his 20th NBA season – and a third consecutive year with his hometown 76ers.
The NBA on Prime Video already boasts the likes of Blake Griffin, Dirk Nowitzki, Udonis Haslem, Candace Parker, Steve Nash, and host Taylor Rooks in the studio. And it sounds like Kyle Lowry might be joining them soon. Griffin casually dropped the news on a recent Pardon My Take appearance. “Kyle Lowry is going to be our — actually, I don’t know if that one’s been announced,” Griffin said. “Damnit. He’s a player correspondent, maybe. Maybe in some capacity. I don’t know. We’ve been talking about it.”
Who was the best leader you learned from when you played previously for the Toronto Raptors and ultimately won a title in 2019? Fred VanVleet: Obviously, Kyle [Lowry]. He had a different way of doing things. So, I try to take as much good as I can and leave the bad. And [Raptors vice chairman and president] Masai [Ujiri] was also a great leader that I studied. It’s different. It’s not like in the locker room, but I watched him lead the organization and just watched him on a daily basis. So, I give both of those guys credit and I stole as much as I could from them. I try to learn from anybody. I watch everybody.

Kyle Lowry, who turned 39 last week, has been upgraded to questionable. Lowry has not played since Feb. 9 due to a right hip issue which has plagued him for the vast majority of the season, but he could make his return to the action in New York.
Adam Aaronson: Tyrese Maxey is working out, per Nick Nurse, and is “getting used” to a splint. “Totally a pain tolerance thing.” Kyle Lowry working out, could be back soon. Kelly Oubre Jr. day-to-day. Lonnie Walker will work out, out of concussion protocol. Might be longer for Andre Drummond.
