The NBA announced Thursday guard Kyle Lowry has been named as a reserve to the Eastern Conference team for the 2017 All-Star Game. Lowry will make his third consecutive NBA All-Star Game appearance after being voted a starter the previous two years.
Lowry will join starter DeMar DeRozan on the East squad. It will mark the second straight year both DeRozan and Lowry have been selected to the NBA All-Star Game and third time in franchise history the Raptors will have two players participate in the game. Toronto also had two players in the 2001 NBA All-Star Game when Vince Carter was joined by Antonio Davis, who was named by the League as an injury replacement.
