Kyle Lowry came off the bench for the first time in a decade on Saturday night..
Kyle Lowry’s streak of 677 consecutive games in the starting lineup came to an end Saturday at Orlando. The veteran point guard came off the bench as Gabe Vincent and Tyler Herro started in the backcourt.
The former All-Star point guard has spent the last decade of his career in the starting lineup with the Rockets, Raptors and Heat. The majority of Lowry’s success as a starter stemmed from his tenure with the Raptors, where he won the first NBA championship in franchise history. Lowry also made the 2015-16 All-NBA Third-Team and the All-Star Game six times as a Raptor.
Kyle Lowry is playing, but his string of 677 consecutive starts ends. Last non-start was 1/26/13.
