The Raptors will retire Kyle Lowry's No. 7 jersey on January 10 against the 76ers. Lowry joins Vince Carter as the only players to have their numbers retired by Toronto. The franchise point guard spent nine seasons with the Raptors, leading them to their first NBA Finals appearance in 2019 and winning the championship that year. Lowry was the backbone of Toronto's core, known for his leadership, clutch play, and willingness to do the unglamorous work that won games. He averaged 17.9 points and 7.5 assists across his time with the franchise. The retirement marks the end of an era for the Raptors and cements Lowry's legacy as the most important player in team history outside of Carter.
