"The lies people tell in the media are amazing!! Don't put thing out when they ain't come from me!!" Lowry wrote on Instagram. While there was no mention of any specific article or rumour, it seems to hint towards the countless Kyle Lowry trade rumours.

Kyle Lowry house sale

Around a month ago, reports claimed that the Kyle Lowry house in Toronto might be up for sale. The rumours already had fans contemplating about the Kyle Lowry contract, which might soon come to an end. Recently, the Kyle Lowry house was confirmed. As per reports, the Raptors star paid $5.25 for the property in 2017, and sold it for $5.12 million.

Last month, it was reported that if traded, Lowry would be interested in playing for his home team – the Philadelphia 76ers. As per reports, the Raptors are willing to trade him only if they get something of value in return. If a 76ers trade is done, the Raptors might expect picks, some young talent and veterans with expiring contracts. Additionally, while Lowry is a possible option, the 76ers might have to give up Ben Simmons. Recently, Lowry has also been linked to the Los Angeles Clippers.
