NBA: Kyle Lowry agrees to $31 million one-year contract extension with reigning champions Toronto Raptors, according to reports

New York: Five-time NBA All-Star guard Kyle Lowry has agreed to a one-year contract extension with the reigning champion Toronto Raptors worth $31 million, ESPN reported Monday. [caption id=“attachment_7024881” align=“alignleft” width=“380”] ![File image of Kyle Lowry. Reuters](https://images.firstpost.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/Kyle-Lowry-380-Reuters.jpg) File image of Kyle Lowry. Reuters[/caption] The move takes Lowry out of next July’s free agency market and follows the $33.4 million the 33-year-old will make this year in the final season of his expiring deal, according to agent Mark Bartelstein, ESPN reported. The deal would produce the largest salary cap hit for an NBA player who will be 34 or older. Keeping Lowry solidifies the core roster for the defending NBA champions, who lost NBA Finals Most Valuable Player Kawhi Leonard to the Los Angeles Clippers in a major setback to their repeat hopes. The Raptors are expected to rely more upon Pascal Siakam, last season’s NBA Most Improved Player, and they still have Spanish stars Marc Gasol and Serge Ibaka — whose contracts expire after this season. Toronto keeps trade options open for Lowry while retaining the talent to return to the playoffs in a tougher Eastern Conference with Milwaukee and Philadelphia as top contenders to dethrone the Raptors. Lowry, a member of the US gold medal team at the 2016 Rio Olympics, averaged 14.2 points, 4.8 rebounds, a career-high 8.7 assists and 1.4 steals a game last season, his 12th NBA campaign. Lowry was traded from Memphis to Houston in 2009 in his third NBA season and he was traded to Toronto in 2012.
