Kyle Lowry posted an emotional farewell to Toronto on Instagram, days after reports surfaced that the Raptors franchise icon would be leaving the Raptors to join the Miami Heat in a sign-and-trade deal.
“This is hard to write, but the time has come for the next chapter in my story to begin,” the Philadelphia native wrote in a late-night Thursday post.
After calling Toronto and the Raptors home for nine years, Lowry wrote about his deep connection with the city.
“The bond I share with you is unbreakable. There’s so many things I want to say about the city of Toronto,” he said, sharing his appreciation for the fans’ excitement, enthusiasm and hope for the team.
