Knicks targeting free agent Kyle Lowry for roster boost

The New York Knicks are looking to strengthen their roster by targeting Kyle Lowry, a guard from the Philadelphia 76ers and a former NBA champion. Lowry, a Villanova alum, will be an unrestricted free agent this offseason. Lowry's performance has declined recently, averaging four points and 2.8 assists this season. However, his experience and defensive skills are seen as valuable assets for the Knicks, who aim to enhance their competitiveness. With the emergence of young guard Jared McCain on the 76ers, Lowry's role may diminish, increasing the likelihood of his departure from Philadelphia. The Knicks previously attempted to acquire him last year.
