Was Kyle Lowry house for sale?

Around a month ago, reports claimed that Lowry's house in Toronto might be up for sale. The rumours already had fans contemplating about Lowry's time with the team, which might be coming to an end. The six-time NBA All-Star had signed his four-year deal with the team in 2012, also buying a house in Toronto. The house had been on sale for $5.3 million.

Last month, it was reported that if traded, Lowry would be interested in playing for his home team. As per reports, the Raptors are willing to trade him only if they get something of value in return. If a 76ers trade is done, the Raptors might expect picks, some young talent and veterans with expiring contracts. Additionally, while Lowry is a possible option, the 76ers might have to give up Ben Simmons. Previous reports suggest that the team is reluctant to break up the Joel Embiid-Ben Simmons duo.
