""I guess he gets his 20th season officially in the books now by hitting the court," 76ers coach Nick Nurse said. "Who would have thought it for Kyle Lowry 20 years ago, right?" Vince Carter and LeBron James share the NBA record for player longevity with 22 seasons; James has yet to play for the Los Angeles Lakers this season because of injury."
"Lowry, a Philadelphia native and former Villanova star, is a six-time All-Star and was part of the Toronto team that won the 2019 NBA title. "That's a Hall of Famer we're talking about," 76ers guard Tyrese Maxey said. "Jersey's probably getting retired in Toronto. And he's up cheering for everybody, motivating people, talking in the locker room. I've got nothing but love and respect for K-Low and we appreciate having him.""
Kyle Lowry, a 39-year-old guard for the Philadelphia 76ers, checked in with 3:12 remaining in a 129-105 win over the Brooklyn Nets, marking his official 20th NBA season. Lowry made a 3-pointer with 1:19 left, recorded a steal and an assist, and was celebrated by teammates. He is a six-time All-Star and a member of the 2019 Toronto championship team. Coaches and teammates praised his leadership, mentorship and daily involvement with younger players like Tyrese Maxey. Longevity comparisons noted Vince Carter and LeBron James at 22 seasons and Chris Paul in his 21st.
