Toronto Raptors officially retired Kyle Lowry's No. 7 jersey on July 7th in a press conference where general manager Bobby Webster called him the greatest Raptor of all time. Lowry signed a one-day contract to end his career with the team he helped define over nine seasons. During that span he averaged 17.5 points 7.1 assists 4.9 rebounds and 1.5 steals per game on 43/38/83 shooting splits while earning six straight All-Star nods an All-NBA Third-Team selection and the 2019 NBA championship. The team later shared an action shot on X showing Lowry dribbling with one finger up paired with the caption 'A legacy too big for one night' sparking speculation about a potential jersey design featuring the updated Raptor logo. This follows past tributes like the Vince Carter-inspired jersey that celebrated his iconic East Bay dunk contest move. Fans anticipate the new logo could debut during Lowry's jersey-raising ceremony though no date has been set yet. The Raptors have consistently honored franchise greats and DeMar DeRozan is expected to receive similar treatment when his career ends. Scottie Barnes may also be on that path after emerging as the team's most valuable player last season despite being the third-leading scorer behind Brandon Ingram and RJ Barrett. His value has grown especially since the Pascal Siakam trade at the 2024 midseason deadline shifted the franchise's focus to him as the cornerstone moving forward. Last result: Cleveland Cavaliers 114-102 Toronto Raptors (2026-05-03).
