Lowry will stay with Raptors

Kyle Lowry is staying home, saying he wants to finish what he started in Toronto.

Lowry announced on The Players’ Tribune site Sunday that he would re-sign with the Raptors, adding that it was an easy decision. Lowry will sign a three-year deal worth $100 million, according to a person with knowledge of the negotiations who spoke on condition of anonymity.

“It was up to me to decide whether this thing we have — is it worth sticking around for, and running it back again, and seeing if we can take that next step?” Lowry wrote. “And like I said — to me, that was an easy decision. The answer is yes.”

The three-time all-star averaged 22.4 points and 7.0 assists last season for the Raptors, who also struck a threeyear, $65 million deal to retain forward Serge Ibaka earlier Sunday. In other deals:

A person with knowledge of the situation said that the Cleveland Cavaliers have agreed to terms with shooter Kyle Korver on a three-year, $22 million contract.

Korver joined the Cavs midway through last season in a trade from Atlanta. The 36-year-old led the league in three-point percentage (45) and averaged 10.8 points in 35 games for the Cavs.

Hard-nosed power foward Taj Gibson is on his way to Minnesota on a two-year deal, giving head coach Tom Thibodeau another trusted veteran to join Jimmy Butler and the new-look Timberwolves.
