Overview
- Prime Video announced the hire on Thursday, saying Lowry will make select on-air appearances this season and take on increased responsibilities in the future.
- Lowry remains an active Philadelphia 76ers player after re-signing for one year and is set to become just the 12th NBA player to reach a 20th season.
- NBA on Prime coverage launches Oct. 24 with a doubleheader, and Lowry is expected to participate that night since the 76ers are not scheduled to play.
- Amazon’s NBA package includes 66 regular-season games, in-season tournament quarterfinals through the championship, all six play-in games, and a portion of the playoffs.
- The move follows a growing model of active-player analysts, echoing Draymond Green’s TV work during his playing career.
