DeRozan hits Lowry with back-handed compliment after loss to Raptors

The topic of DeMar DeRozan and Kyle Lowry’s bromance has been discussed in every possible format in every corner of the Raptors world for years.

On Friday, however, it got new life as DeRozan made his return to Toronto and was able to see and play against the man he was famously close to for years.

(When the Raptors travelled to San Antonio earlier this season for DeRozan’s first game against his former squad, Lowry was unable to play due to a back injury.)

As one would expect, there was nothing but love between the two when they met on the court.

After the game DeRozan took a good-natured shot at his former teammate, whose weight has been a topic of discussion often in the past — especially earlier in his career.

Chances are DeRozan was more interested in getting a rise out of the media present than seriously criticizing Lowry, but it certainly makes for good bulletin board material for the latter the next time the two match up on the court.
