Well, Coach Lowry has picked up yet another gig for the upcoming season.

Amazon Prime has announced another member of their coverage team as they are set to broadcast NBA games for the first time in 2025-26, and it is none other than Sixers guard Kyle Lowry.

While Lowry will begin these duties as an active player, this is a move to ease the 39-year old guard into his post playing days as well. In a release from Amazon courtesy of Adam Aaronson from PhillyVoice, Prime Sports’ head of on-air talent Amina Hussein said, ““We look forward to Kyle’s contributions to our team both this season as an active player and in the future. … His authentic personality and deep understanding of today’s game will offer viewers unique analysis as we deliver NBA coverage that celebrates the game, and educates fans around the world.”

Lowry also provided a statement, saying: “I’m excited to start the next chapter of my basketball journey with the Prime Sports team. … The talent they’ve assembled is incredible, and together we’ll deliver something fresh and special for basketball fans worldwide. It’s an honor to be part of this from day one, and I’m committed to sharing the insights l’ve gained from my career through NBA on Prime for years to come.“

Some more former players that will serve as analysts fro Prime include Dirk Nowitzski, Blake Griffin, Candace Parker and John Wall.

This has become an increasingly typical career path for players once their days on the court are over. Of course a little bit more of a fuss will be made over Lowry taking up these duties will still being an active member of an NBA roster. He won’t be the first to be behind the desk while still being employed to play basketball though. Draymond Green had been a frequent analyst on TNT’s Inside the NBA for multiple seasons.

It’s good for Lowry that he’s already able to lay the groundwork for when he retires. Sixers fans won’t feel any better though about potentially burning two roster spots on veteran guards simply around to be leaders and strong voices in the locker room. Regardless it doesn’t look like the “Coach Lowry” tag will become official any time soon.
