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

Firstpost  

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 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. 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. 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.
