Kyle Lowry Opens Year 20 With the Sixers in a Bit Role
Kyle Lowry heads into the 2026-27 season as the 76ers' 40-year-old guard, wearing No. 7 after a 2025-26 campaign that saw his minutes shrink to a career low. He is not on the injury report. Philadelphia has no rumors attached to him right now, and his roster spot looks like a veteran presence more than a rotation piece.

Kyle Lowry enters the 2026-27 season with the Philadelphia 76ers, wearing No. 7. He is 40 years old, listed at 6-0 and 196 pounds, and playing his 20th NBA season. Lowry came up through Villanova before a long pro career, and Philadelphia is where he closed out 2025-26. There is no fresh trade or signing news attached to him, and no rumors are circulating about his next move. He is simply on the roster, the oldest player in the Sixers' locker room, heading into another training camp with a resume that speaks for itself even as his role has shrunk to almost nothing on the floor.
02A Career-Low Role Last SeasonLowry's 2025-26 numbers were thin.
Lowry's 2025-26 numbers were thin. He appeared in 14 games for Philadelphia, averaging 8.4 minutes, 1.2 points, 0.6 rebounds and 0.8 assists a night. His shooting was rough across the board: 16.0 percent from the field, 16.0 percent from three, though he made 83.3 percent of his free throws on low volume. His true shooting sat at 30.8 percent with a 10.6 usage rate, and his plus-minus was -2.8. Those are the numbers of a player at the very end of the bench, not a rotation piece. Whatever role Lowry holds in 2026-27, last season's stat line makes clear it will be about locker room presence more than production.
