Toronto Raptors to raise Kyle Lowry’s No. 7 to rafters in January retirement ceremony

Toronto Raptors plan to honor Kyle Lowry by retiring his No. 7 jersey during a January ceremony at Scotiabank Arena. Lowry, who announced his retirement in July after a 20-year NBA career with the Raptors, will become the second player in franchise history to have his number raised to the rafters. Vince Carter is the only other player to achieve this feat in team history.

The 40-year-old Lowry, who spent nine seasons in Toronto and helped the team win their first NBA championship in 2019, expressed his excitement about retiring a Raptor and being able to share this special moment with his teammates, organization, city, fans, and family. Toronto will also host special events at home games against Minnesota on January 7 and Utah on January 8 to celebrate Lowry's milestone retirement.
