Since the 2012-13 season, Kyle Lowry has been a mainstay with the Toronto Raptors. Making the move from the Houston Rockets after a tough adjustment period, Lowry became the fully-fledged starter for the Raptors and has been the catalyst behind the most successful period in the team’s history.
For the first time in his career, Lowry heads into the season as an NBA champion with the Toronto Raptors, following their 4-2 series victory over the Golden State Warriors in the NBA Finals. However, the Toronto Raptors don’t head into the season being considered as contenders to retain their crown – despite being one of the stronger teams in the Eastern Conference.
