Former Toronto Raptor Kyle Lowry is enormously popular among his fellow players, with coaches noting that he sees the game differently to many players.

Kyle Lowry is joining a new team, without leaving his current team.

Prime Video announced Thursday that it has hired Lowry – the Philadelphia 76ers guard who is about to enter what will be the 20th season of his pro career – as an NBA on Prime analyst. It’s a multiyear deal, with Lowry “making select appearances” this season, Prime said, adding that he will have “increased responsibilities in the future.”

NBA on Prime’s coverage of the league will begin Oct. 24 with a doubleheader, Boston at New York followed by Minnesota at the Los Angeles Lakers. Lowry is expected to have some role that night; the 76ers do not have a game that evening.
