An NBA championship-winning veteran guard is going to a Knicks’ Eastern Conference rival.
Charlotte Hornets guard Kyle Lowry — who was one of the leaders on the Toronto Raptors’ NBA title-winning team — agreed to a contract buyout Saturday night, clearing the way for him to sign for the rest of the season with the Philadelphia 76ers, according to ESPN.
Once the six-time All-Star guard clears waivers in the coming days, he will sign a $2.8 million deal with the Sixers, according to the report.
The 37-year-old veteran, who is an alumus of Cardinal Dougherty High School and Villanova University, has long hoped to play for his hometown 76ers.
