All-star berth in voting by coaches sign of respect, Raptor Kyle Lowry says.
It’s not unusual for NBA coaches to lobby for a player to be voted an all-star, but Dwane Casey didn’t have to do much work to sell Kyle Lowry’s inclusion.
“A lot of them had already texted me to say they were all in,” the Raptors coach said Friday, the morning after it was announced that the point guard would make his third consecutive all-star appearance, this time as a reserve in voting by the coaches.
