Lowry closed with five points (1-7 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, six assists and one block across 32 minutes during Friday's 116-106 loss to the Lakers.
With Tyrese Maxey (hamstring) sidelined, Lowry made his fifth start of the season and saw a season high in minutes. The increased workload didn't lead to increased production, however. The 38-year-old point guard is no longer the scoring threat he was in his Raptors heyday, but Lowry's assists, threes and steals might provide some deep-league fantasy value while he's in an elevated role.

76ers' Kyle Lowry: To fill in at point guard
Rotowire
Lowry is expected to start at point guard while Tyrese Maxey (hamstring) recovers from injury, Adam Aaronson of PhillyVoice.com reports.
Lowry was the likely candidate to enter the starting lineup in Maxey's place, but it's still nice to hear confirmation from head coach Nick Nurse. Lowry has already made four starts this season, averaging 8.3 points, 2.0 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 2.0 steals in 21.8 minutes. Nurse also noted that Reggie Jackson would work as the backup to Lowry, while Jeff Dowtin could also factor into the rotation in the backcourt.

76ers' Kyle Lowry: Plays well off bench
Rotowire
Lowry finished Monday's 118-116 loss to the Suns with 13 points (5-8 FG, 3-6 3Pt), two rebounds, seven assists, one block and one steal in 28 minutes.
Lowry moved to a reserve role Monday with Paul George (knee) making his 2024-25 regular-season debut. However, the veteran point guard was still able to make a solid impact, and that may continue to be the case while Joel Embiid (knee) and his massive usage rate are on the shelf.

76ers' Kyle Lowry: Reverts to bench Monday
Rotowire
Lowry is not in the 76ers' starting lineup for Monday's game against the Suns, Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
Lowry has been in the starting lineup in each of the last four games, but he will revert to a reserve role Monday as Paul George (knee) makes his 2024-25 regular-season debut. Through the first five games of the campaign, Lowry is averaging 9.2 points, 2.6 assists, 2.4 rebounds and 1.6 steals over 22.2 minutes per game.

76ers' Kyle Lowry: Scores in double figures
Rotowire
Lowry produced 10 points (3-4 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds, one assist and two steals in 21 minutes during Saturday's 124-107 loss to the Grizzlies.
Lowry was one of three Philly starters to finish in double figures, and he did so by attempting only four shots from the field. This has been the norm so far this year for the veteran guard, who's averaging 4.6 field-goal attempts over five appearances. Lowry is unlikely to light up the scoreboard for fantasy managers this year, but he's made the most of his chances, averaging 9.2 points, 2.4 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 1.6 steals in 22.2 minutes.

76ers' Kyle Lowry: Decent output Friday
Rotowire
Lowry totaled 14 points (3-5 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 5-5 FT), one rebound, two assists and three steals over 29 minutes during Friday's 115-107 loss to the Raptors.
Lowry started for the first time this season, and coincidentally, he did it against the Raptors, the franchise for which he played nine seasons between 2012 and 2020. The veteran floor general was efficient, and he probably did enough to remain in the starting lineup for the time being -- at least until Joel Embiid (knee) and Paul George (knee) are back in the mix.

76ers' Kyle Lowry: Moves into starting lineup
Rotowire
Lowry will start Friday's game against the Raptors, Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reports.
After a disappointing performance against the Bucks, coach Nick Nurse has removed Eric Gordon and KJ Martin from the starting lineup and replaced them with Lowry and Caleb Martin. Lowry posted 13 points (4-7 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 2-4 FT), six assists and four rebounds in 24 minutes off the bench during Wednesday's 124-109 loss to Milwaukee.

76ers' Kyle Lowry: Woeful performance Friday
Rotowire
Lowry recorded two points (0-6 FG, 0-3 3PT, 2-3 FT), three rebounds, two assists and one steal in 20 minutes during Friday's preseason loss to Orlando.
Lowry struggled again Friday, continuing his rough preseason. At this point, Lowry could very well be a spent force, making him a non-factor in the majority of fantasy leagues. Barring a turnaround, there is no reason to consider drafting him outside of very deep formats.

Lowry returned from a one-game absence for rest. The veteran point guard is expected to back up Tyrese Maxey (thumb) at point guard this season.

76ers' Kyle Lowry: Agrees to one-year deal with 76ers
Rotowire
Lowry has agreed to return to the 76ers on a one-year deal, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
The 38-year-old veteran and Philly native will again be helping back up Tyrese Maxey for the 76ers this upcoming season. He may be able to provide some low-end value as an assist specialist in 16-team leagues, but he's well past his days of relevancy in standard, 12-team settings.

76ers' Kyle Lowry: Vintage performance
Rotowire
Lowry finished Saturday's 111-104 loss to New York in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Quarterfinals with 18 points (5-9 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal across 39 minutes.
Lowry's hot shooting fueled a 15-2 run in the third quarter to put Philadelphia in front. He was one of just three 76ers to exceed 10 points Saturday, joining Tyrese Maxey (33 points) and Joel Embiid (29 points) in catalyzing the offense. Lowry's signature defensive peskiness was also on display, and the veteran profiles as a swing factor in the series given his strong play, huge minute share and experience as a two-way synergistic piece in the playoffs historically.

76ers' Kyle Lowry: Questionable against Detroit
Rotowire
Lowry is questionable for Tuesday's game against Detroit due to a left knee effusion.
Lowry sat out Sunday's game against San Antonio due to rest purposes, and his status for Tuesday's game is up in the air due to his knee injury. However, it wouldn't be surprising to see him return to action. Over his last seven appearances, he's averaged 9.1 points and 4.0 assists in 28.4 minutes per game.

76ers' Kyle Lowry: Rough night again Saturday
Rotowire
Lowry contributed eight points (3-4 FG, 2-3 3Pt), one rebound, one assist and one block in 21 minutes during Saturday's 116-96 victory over the Grizzlies.
Lowry was invisible in the win, continuing his rough season. Despite moving to a more favorable location, Lowry's days of being a viable fantasy asset appear to be well behind him. At this point, he is barely on the radar as a potential streaming candidate.

76ers' Kyle Lowry: Tallies double-double in victory
Rotowire
Lowry ended with 11 points (4-6 FG, 3-5 3Pt), 10 assists, two blocks, one rebound and one steal over 38 minutes in Sunday's 135-120 win over Toronto.
Lowry handed out a game-high-tying assist total while connecting on a trio of threes and ending as one of six 76ers players with a double-digit point total over a double-double performance. Lowry, who also recorded a pair of blocks defensively, set a new season high in assists, posting his second game of the year with 10 or more dimes. In both of those contests, Lowry has ended with a double-double. Lowry's pair of blocks matched a season-best mark, a total he has now ended with in four contests.

76ers' Kyle Lowry: Bounces back Friday
Rotowire
Lowry recorded 23 points (7-12 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 5-5 FT), three rebounds and six assists in 32 minutes during Friday's 117-114 loss to the Cavaliers.
Lowry was coming off two subpar outings, as he couldn't surpass the seven-point mark in the losses to the Kings and Clippers earlier this week. However, the veteran floor general turned things around and dazzled Friday, but he couldn't prevent the Sixers' third straight loss. Lowry is expected to remain in the starting lineup for the foreseeable future, though his numbers during the current month do not offer much promise. He's averaging 9.2 points, 4.6 assists, 2.9 rebounds and 0.9 steals across 29.6 minutes per game in 14 starts since the beginning of March.

76ers' Kyle Lowry: Horrible outing in return to action
Rotowire
Lowry closed Monday's 108-96 loss to the Kings with three points (1-4 FG, 1-4 3Pt), two rebounds, one assist and one steal in 25 minutes.
Lowry sat out the front end of the back-to-back for rest purposes and returned to the starting lineup against the Kings. The veteran has had some productive evenings with his new team, but his age is obviously showing. He isn't able to sustain consistent shot volume and leaves most of the ball-handling to Tyrese Maxey. De'Anthony Melton's (back) return will almost certainly end Lowry's tenure with the first unit.
