Veteran point player Kyle Lowry has actually protected an agreement buyout with the Charlotte Hornets, and will sign with the Philadelphia 76ers in complimentary company, according to a report from ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski.

Lowry was traded from the Miami Heat to Charlotte in late January for a plan that landed the Heat point player Terry Rozier. The expectation was that Lowry would be purchased out of Charlotte, and now that lastly seems the case. He did not play a single video game with the Hornets.

Lowry is a Philadelphia native, having actually played high school basketball at Cardinal Dougherty High School prior to starring at Villanova under coach Jay Wright. The 37-year-old Lowry will now reunite with his old coach Nick Nurse, who he won an NBA title with as a member of the Toronto Raptors in 2019.
