Kyle Lowry says Dwane Casey was one of the best coaches he's ever had

Kyle Lowry had nice words to share about coach Dwane Casey, who was fired by the Toronto Raptors today.

"Casey is one of the best coaches I’ve ever had," Lowry told ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski. "We didn’t always see eye to eye, but he let me be me...He was huge for my growth as a man and an NBA player."

"They made a decision -- and for me, as a leader in the organization -- it’s my job to support the decision that (President) Masai (Ujiri) and GM Bobby (Webster) made," Lowry said about the decision to dismiss Casey.
