Kyle Lowry Joins 76ers After Hornets Buyout

The Philadelphia native returns home in a move to strengthen the team amidst MVP Joel Embiid's absence.

Kyle Lowry agrees to a $2.8 million deal with the Philadelphia 76ers after a buyout from the Charlotte Hornets, marking his return to his hometown.
Lowry's addition aims to bolster the 76ers, who are currently fifth in the Eastern Conference, especially in the absence of MVP Joel Embiid due to knee surgery.
The veteran guard brings championship experience from his time with the Toronto Raptors and is expected to provide leadership and depth to the 76ers.
Lowry's performance this season has been modest, with an average of 8.2 points and 4.0 assists per game, raising questions about his impact on the team.
The 76ers made several trades at the deadline, including acquiring sharpshooter Buddy Hield, as they look to remain competitive in the playoffs.
