Kyle Lowry will make his return to Toronto with his new Miami Heat squad on Feb. 3 and you’ll only be able to see it on television on Sportsnet.
Arguably the greatest player in Toronto Raptors franchise history, Lowry had spent the last nine seasons with the Raptors where among a slew of other statistical categories he became Toronto’s franchise assist leader. And, of course, Lowry was instrumental in helping the Raptors win their first-ever NBA championship in 2019.
During his nine-season stint with the Raptors, Lowry endeared himself to the team’s faithful for his hard-nosed style of play and talent on the court as illustrated by the many charges he took for the Raptors, as well as the compassion he showed off the court such as what turned into annual tradition to give away Thanksgiving dinners to Toronto families in need.
Of course, Feb. 3 wouldn’t be the first time that Lowry and the Heat see the Raptors next season. The first time the two clubs are scheduled to meet for the first time on Jan. 17 in Miami. That game will also be televised exclusively on Sportsnet.
Additionally, Lowry’s second return to Sportsnet will be aired exclusively on Sportsnet when the Heat visit Toronto again on April 3.
In total, Sportsnet will air 41 regular season Raptors games and two pre-season games this upcoming season with other highlights including both games against Kawhi Leonard and his Los Angeles Clippers on New Year’s Eve and March 16, as well as both games the Raptors will play against the LeBron James and his new-look Los Angeles Lakers on March 14 and 18.
New to the Sportsnet broadcast team this season will be Amy Audibert doing courtside reporting, while former Raptor Alvin Williams will work alongside Matt Devlin as the colour commentator.
