What happened: Kyle Lowry stayed in focus Saturday as his Toronto homecoming rolled on after a block party and a key-to-the-city ceremony this week. The retired guard has remained a prominent offseason presence in the city since stepping away earlier this summer.

Why it matters: Lowry's No. 7 is already set for retirement on Jan. 10, giving the latest tributes a clear next milestone. The continued attention shows how central he remains to Toronto's basketball identity even after retirement.

What to watch: The next major date is Jan. 10, when Lowry is due to be honored again with his jersey retirement.
