Kyle Lowry doesn’t want to re-sign with the Toronto Raptors. No, wait. Actually, he does. We think. Okay, we’re not sure. Bruce Arthur of the Toronto Star reported that, as of mid-May, people around the league were being informed Lowry had “zero interest” in returning to the Raptors: Still, things can change. That’s what Ujiri is facing. [...]

On Sunday night, while the Cavaliers ended the Raptors’ playoff race, LeBron James decided to also take a jab at one its fans.
