PHOTO: J.J. Redick barely recognizes slimmed-down Kyle Lowry
Kyle Lowry hasn't been slacking off this summer.
After having his body break down on him at the back end of a taxing 2014-15 season, the Toronto Raptors All-Star point guard is using the offseason to get in tip-top shape.
Here's Lowry after a workout in Las Vegas, in a photo posted to Instagram by New York Knicks big man Kyle O'Quinn on Wednesday.
Lowry's unique build has always hewed toward "stocky." The sight of his trimmed-down figure dropped a couple jaws, notably that of Los Angeles Clippers shooting guard J.J. Redick, who could hardly believe what he was seeing.
jjredick4 Bro is that Kyle Lowry???
kyle.oquinn @jjredick4 yeah!! Lol. The slimmer version.
jjredick4 @kyle.oquinn he looks amazing. Geez.
For comparison's sake, here's a photo Lowry posted of himself around the same time last year, after re-signing with the Raptors.
