Kyle Lowry Eyes Amazon NBA Role Amid Retirement Speculation, Hints Blake Griffin
June 13, 2025
Amazon's NBA on Prime Video already features a star-studded lineup, including Griffin, Dirk Nowitzki, Udonis Haslem, Candace Parker, Steve Nash, and host Taylor Rooks.
At 39 years old, Lowry signed a one-year deal with the Philadelphia 76ers and is set to become an unrestricted free agent after the 2024-25 NBA season.
Lowry's performance this past season was challenging, averaging just 3.9 points and 2.7 assists per game, largely due to a hip injury.
Despite a disappointing season for the Sixers, Lowry remains committed to helping the organization succeed, emphasizing that the city deserves a top team.
As speculation grows about his retirement, Lowry's potential transition into media raises questions about whether he could balance both playing and correspondent duties.
Griffin revealed the news about Lowry's potential role during his appearance on the podcast 'Pardon My Take', although he was uncertain if it had been officially announced.
To prepare for their show, Griffin mentioned that the crew maintains a group chat to build chemistry, with the show set to air on Fridays and transition to Thursdays later in the year.
Griffin expressed excitement about collaborating with former players and aims to deliver insightful yet light-hearted analysis during the coverage.
The show intends to focus on lesser-known NBA storylines rather than just high-profile teams like the Lakers and Celtics.
During a recent podcast appearance, Blake Griffin hinted that Kyle Lowry, a six-time NBA All-Star, may join Amazon's NBA coverage as a player correspondent starting next season.
Reports indicate that Amazon and NBC are actively exploring current NBA players for studio roles as they approach retirement, with Lowry being one of the names considered.
As a former champion with the Toronto Raptors, Lowry would be the latest addition to Amazon's lineup, which already includes Hall of Fame players and notable commentators.
