“From Vancouver – to London – to every city where we proudly wore our jersey, I saw our fans,” Lowry wrote. “I always knew we were Canada’s team, but damn … y’all came out with the love and support we needed.”
The 30-year-old point guard drove Toronto to a franchise record 56-win regular season, averaging 21.2 points per game and 6.4 assists per game, while starting the 2016 All-Star Game in Toronto and being awarded All-NBA Third Team honours.
Soon-to-be free agent teammate DeMar DeRozan also took to social media Thursday, leading some to draw conclusions on his future with the team. DeRozan posted a portrait of himself captured “To be continued..”, the image included various phrases written over his face, including the popular team chant “We the North”.
