Lowry, Ibaka set to re-sign with Raptors

Point guard Kyle Lowry announced on The Players’ Tribune site that he will re-sign with the Toronto Raptors, who also announced Sunday that they had reached agreement on a three-year deal to retain forward Serge Ibaka.

Lowry, a three-time All-Star who averaged 22.4 points and 7.0 assists last season, will get a threeyear, $100-million contract, according to a person with knowledge of the negotiations who spoke to the Associated Press on condition of anonymity.

Lowry’s return means Toronto’s star-powered backcourt is set for at least the next three years; shooting guard DeMar DeRozan got a five-year deal worth $139 million last summer.

Ibaka, who joined Toronto in a pre-deadline trade with Orlando in February, will be paid $65 million over three seasons. He averaged 14.2 points and 6.8 rebounds in 23 games for the Raptors, who lost in the second round of the playoffs a year after reaching the Eastern Conference finals.

No contracts can be signed until the NBA’s offseason moratorium ends Thursday.

Free-agent forward Paul Millsap agreed to a three-year, $90-million deal with the Denver Nuggets, according to multiple reports. The four-time All-Star averaged a career-high 18.1 points last season with Atlanta, plus 7.7 rebounds and 3.1 assists.

Former Chicago, Oklahoma City and USC forward Taj Gibson agreed to a two-year, $28-million free-agent contract with Minnesota, reuniting him with Tom Thibodeau, his longtime coach with the Bulls, and former Chicago teammate Jimmy Butler. Gibson, 32, has averaged 10.8 points and 6.2 rebounds in eight NBA seasons. The Bulls traded him to the Thunder in February.

Shooting guard Kyle Korver agreed to rejoin East champion Cleveland on a three-year, $22-million contract. Korver, 36, led the NBA in threepoint accuracy (45.1%) last season, when the Cavaliers acquired him in a January trade with Atlanta.

Former Lakers center Darrall Imhoff , a San Gabriel native who led California to the 1959 NCAA title and helped the U.S. win Olympic gold in 1960 before playing 12 seasons in the NBA, died in Bend, Ore., after a heart attack. He was 78.

Imhoff played alongside Oscar Robertson and Jerry West — the two players selected ahead of him in the 1960 NBA draft — on the gold-medal Olympic team coached by Pete Newell, his coach at Cal. He played four seasons with the Lakers, 1964-68, making the All-Star team in 1967. He averaged 7.2 points and 7.6 rebounds in a career that began in New York and also included stops in Detroit, Philadelphia, Cincinnati and Portland.
