Kyle Lowry Rumors: 76ers Viewed as Possible Landing Spot If Hornets Can't Find Trade

The Philadelphia 76ers are reportedly viewed as a potential landing spot for Kyle Lowry if the Charlotte Hornets are unable to secure a trade.

Jake Fischer of Yahoo Sports reported the Sixers are in a prime position to land Lowry because they're one of only a few contenders below the first luxury tax apron, allowing them to sign Lowry on the buyout market. Lowry is also a Philadelphia native who played college basketball at nearby Villanova.

The Heat traded Lowry to the Hornets earlier this week as part of a deal that sent Terry Rozier to Miami.
