Recently, Hip hop mogul Drake was spotted in Miami playing one-on-one basketball with Heat guard Kyle Lowry.

It’s no secret that Drake and Kyle Lowry share a great friendship. The four-time Grammy award winner hails from Toronto, Canada. The same city where Lowry spent 9-years playing for the Raptors. Drake is a huge hoops fan and is often present at the courtside for the Raptors games.

Over the years, the Canadian rapper had made numerous headlines for his antics on the courtside, especially when it comes to trash-taking with the visiting team. Drake shares a deep connection with the Toronto Raptors.

Thus Lowry’s exit from the franchise was a sad moment for Drake, considering Lowry was part of bringing the Raptors their first-ever NBA championship. Drake penned a heartfelt note on Instagram, thanking Lowry for his bringing so much to the city of Toronto.

NBA Twitter reacts to Drake playing pickup basketball with Kyle Lowry.

Currently, playing his first season with the Heat, Lowry is averaging 13.6 PPG, 8.3 APG, and 4.5 RPG on 41.8% shooting from the field.

The Heat are currently playing some impressive basketball, despite having a depleted roster lacking Jimmy Butler and Bam Adebayo. The Heat are the third seed in the eastern conference. On the other hand, the Raptors might find themselves in the play-in tournament this year.
