Former NBA champion gets contract update with 76ers image

The 76ers have had a solid offseason so far, with V. J. Edgecombe leading the way as their promising top draft pick.

In addition to that, they just re-signed one of their players who has a title to his name already.

Who did Philly re-sign?

ESPN's Shams Charania reported on Monday that the 76ers are re-signing Kyle Lowry on a one-year deal.

Lowry will enter his 20th season in the NBA and is currently the 5th oldest player in the league (behind LeBron James, PJ Tucker, Chris Paul and Taj Gibson).

Philly is looking to bounce back after a down year in the 2024-25 NBA season.

They'll have the benefit of getting healthy again this offseason, with players like Joel Embiid, Paul George and Jared McCain returning.

They still have a lot to prove, as this core hasn't shown much consistency on the court together.

Although he'll play a small role next year, Lowry will look to try and be a voice and help on the court to get the 76ers to the conference finals for the first time in the Embiid era.

Lowry played in 35 games with the 76ers last season, averaging 3.9 points, 1.9 rebounds and 2.7 assists.
