NBA insider Marc Stein has revealed that Kyle Lowry is the top priority for the Philadelphia 76ers in the buyout market, should the 37-year-old guard negotiate his release from the Charlotte Hornets.

Earlier on Thursday, the 76ers facilitated a trade, sending Danuel House and a 2024 second-round pick via the New York Knicks to the Detroit Pistons. This strategic move created the necessary salary cap flexibility for the Sixers to pursue buyout players post-deadline, potentially including Charlotte's Lowry.

Adding the 37-year-old guard to their roster would bring valuable skills and a veteran presence to the Sixers.

Furthermore, the move could reunite Lowry with 76ers head coach Nick Nurse, with whom he previously secured an NBA championship during their time with the Toronto Raptors.

Lowry's potential arrival in Philadelphia holds sentimental value, as he is a native of the city and a product of Villanova.
