NBA Rumors: Heat 'Frontrunners' for Kyle Lowry Ahead of Trade Deadline

Kyle Lowry's time in Toronto could quickly be coming to an end.

The Raptors are in the midst of trade talks with multiple teams regarding a potential Lowry deal, though the Heat have emerged as the "frontrunner" for Toronto's point guard, according to Sports Illustrated's Chris Mannix

The 76ers and Clippers have previously been rumored as potential landing spots for Lowry.

Landing Lowry could make a major difference in Miami or Philadelphia's push for the Eastern Conference crown. The 15-year veteran is averaging 17.6 points and 7.4 assists this season, shooting 39.1 percent from three. Lowry is a six-time All-Star and 2019 NBA Finals champion.
