KYLE LOWRY has lined up his post-retirement plan despite still being  active.

The veteran NBA point guard is joining Amazon Prime Video’s broadcast team for the 2025-26 season.

The company confirmed on Thursday as he’s become one of the first active players to step into a national media role while still suiting up on the court.

Lowry, 39, will make select appearances as an analyst on Prime Video’s NBA coverage, with his responsibilities expected to grow in the future, a move that echoes what fellow player Draymond Green has done with TNT Sports in recent years.

Lowry said, “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.”

The Philadelphia 76ers guard is preparing to enter his 20th NBA season, a milestone very few players reach.

But rather than wait until his playing days are over, the six-time All-Star is already laying the foundation for a future in front of the camera.

Lowry’s media debut comes as Amazon Prime Video prepares to launch its first-ever season as an official NBA broadcast partner, following the league’s historic new $76 billion media rights deal inked earlier this year.

Starting in 2025, Amazon, NBC, and ESPN will share broadcasting duties, with Amazon securing rights to stream regular-season and playoff games exclusively on Prime Video.

It’s a huge shift in how fans will consume NBA content and Amazon is assembling a roster of on-air talent to match.

Lowry joins a growing team that already includes ex-NBA star Blake Griffin, who accidentally let the cat out of the bag in June during an interview on Pardon My Take.

Griffin said: “Kyle Lowry is going to be our actually, I don’t know if that one’s been announced. Damnit.

“He’s a player correspondent, maybe. Maybe in some capacity.”

Now, it’s official.

Known for his high basketball IQ, gritty defense, and leadership, Lowry has long been considered a prime candidate for a future in media.

A Villanova alum, he entered the league in 2006 and became a franchise legend with the Toronto Raptors, helping lead the team to its first-ever NBA championship in 2019.

With over 1,200 games played and counting, he’s one of the most respected voices in the league and according to Prime Sports head Amina Hussein, that voice will now be front and center on Amazon’s coverage.

Hussein said: “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’s appearances will begin during the 2025-26 season, and if all goes to plan, basketball fans could be seeing much more of him long after he finally hangs up his sneakers.
