The ‘DeMar DeRozan-Kyle Lowry’ friendship has been one that is running for years. From Kevin Durant to LeBron James, everyone has expressed their thoughts on it—some with pure admiration and others with jealousy. 

The friendship began in 2012 when Kyle Lowry joined Toronto Raptors from Houston Rockets. And it continued on until DeMar DeRozan was eventually traded to San Antonio Spurs in 2018. But to this day, they still remain as close as always. Even last year DeMar DeRozan was quoted saying, “If my mom had another son, it’d be Kyle. If his mom had another son, it’d be me… That’s how close we are. That’s what it is to me”. 

A new best friend in town

It’s 2023 now, and it looks like Kyle may have a new friend. The Miami Heat point guard’s teammate Bam Adebayo posted something on Instagram that could give us this impression. 

Miami Heat posted a series of photos and videos of the two from training to its Instagram. And Bam reposted it to his story with the caption, “Lemme Tell You About My Bestfriend 😂 @kyle_lowry7”

Lowry’s stint with Miami

If there was one thing that the fans truly believed and hoped would happen this off-season was Kyle to be traded. Along with Lillard coming to Miami. This was the other high-ranking wish of many. But as would happen, Dame did not come to the South Beach, and neither did Kyle’s departure happen. One of the major reasons for this was his inconsistent performance last season.

He scored a season-high 33 points, four rebounds, and five assists in a 116–105 loss during the Heat’s play-in tournament game against the Atlanta Hawks. But then due to injury, he missed the rest of the mid-season and was a backup for the finals. The fact that he is getting more injury-prone as he ages, makes everyone wish that the team would trade him for a younger and healthier player. However, that may not happen this season. 

The Heat will take on the Detroit Pistons on 25th October, which will be Kyle’s chance to prove his worth to everyone. Will Miami finally bring them back home again? Watch this space as we keep you updated on everything.
