The Toronto Raptors have announced that they will honor Kyle Lowry by retiring his jersey number, No. 7, after their game against the Philadelphia 76ers on January 10. Lowry will join Vince Carter as only the second player in Raptors’ history to receive this recognition at Scotiabank Arena.

After a distinguished 20-year NBA career, the 40-year-old guard officially retired in July by signing a one-day contract with the Raptors, fulfilling his commitment to finish his career with the team. Lowry expressed his excitement about the upcoming jersey retirement ceremony, emphasizing his deep connection to Toronto and the significance of having his No. 7 displayed in the arena.

Reflecting on his time with the Raptors, Lowry highlighted the bond he shared with his teammates, the organization, the city, and the fans, culminating in their historic NBA championship victory in 2019. As a six-time NBA All-Star, Lowry holds multiple franchise records for assists, steals, and three-pointers, solidifying his legacy within the Raptors organization.

The retirement ceremony will be a special moment for Lowry as he celebrates his successful tenure with the team alongside his family, teammates, fans, and the entire country of Canada.
