Kyle Lowry was relaxed and smiling and joking around and entirely in his element in a short media session at the Nick Nurse Foundation golf tournament.
He was Peak Lowry — “make it a good question,” he joshed at one point. “I’m in a jacket, I want the heat,” he added later in a cool and cloudy portion of the session Wednesday at Wooden Sticks in Uxbridge — and considering the difficult few months he’s had to deal with, it had to feel good to be in his element.
The ex-Raptors guard, still one of the athletes of the last two decades most beloved by a vast majority of Toronto sports fans — has lived through, and is still living through, a tumultuous period in his professional and personal lives that has weighed on his mind since last winter.
