Kyle Lowry is not expected to join the Charlotte Hornets before the trade deadline, sources tell Jake Fischer of Yahoo Sports. The Hornets are interested in trading Lowry before the deadline, but his market will likely be limited and that could lead to a buyout.
If Lowry is bought out, the Philadelphia 76ers are believed to be a real possibility.
Lowry is a native of Philadelphia and the Sixers are one of the few teams below the first luxury tax apron, which makes them eligible to sign a player on a contract above $12.4 million.
