Where is he headed?
Toronto Raptors star point guard Kyle Lowry confirmed to reporters Monday morning that he plans to opt out of his contract and become an unrestricted free agent this summer, according to Marc Stein of ESPN.
The move was expected after Lowry, 31, had a career year in 2016-17, averaging 22.4 points, 7.0 assists and 1.5 steals per game while shooting 41.2 percent from beyond the arc. He was set to make $12 million next season, per Spotrac.com, but now may be in line to receive a max contract either from the Raptors or on the free-agent market.
