Kyle Lowry says coming “home” to Toronto will always be tough. Lowry became the cornerstone of the Raptors’ franchise through his nine seasons in Toronto, instilling a scrappy, workmanlike mentality the team rode to the 2019 NBA championship.
The former Raptors guard talked about the emotional roller-coaster of returning to city he called home for nine years ahead of the Miami Heat’s game Wednesday at Scotiabank Arena.
“Tonight, I’m sure I’ll get a good ovation but it’s a little bit different because it’s not my first time,” he said Wednesday. “When I come back here, being able to see the elevator workers, security guys and the familiar faces who don’t travel,” Lowry said. “That’s the most important thing. And then seeing the fans that you normally see when I played here. Those are the people I’m looking forward to seeing.”
Lowry was asked if Barnes has what it takes to follow in his footsteps as Toronto’s franchise player.
