Report: Sixers agree on 1-year deal to keep Kyle Lowry in Philadelphia

The Philadelphia 76ers have agreed to a 1-year deal to keep Kyle Lowry in the city of Philadelphia.

The Philadelphia 76ers are still in the process of filling out the roster in an effort to build the right roster around their Big 3 of Paul George, Joel Embiid, and Tyrese Maxey. They have brought in proven veterans and will now keep one of their own.

Kyle Lowry, who was picked up off the buyout market back in February, has agree to a 1-year deal to return to the Sixers. The Philadelphia native averaged 8.0 points and 4.6 assists while shooting 40.4% from deep in 23 games with 20 starts with the Sixers after starting the season with the Miami Heat. His veteran presence was able to help Maxey move forward in his development as a lead guard.

Lowry will look to keep things going in Philadelphia. He was a key cog in what they wanted to do and he still has some game left. He will be a very nice bench piece for this group as they move forward in the second season under coach Nick Nurse.
