To be honest, this is a little weird. Not weird enough for me to instinctually respond to it with a raised eyebrow instead of a couple moisture wicking blinks, but still kind of weird. I appreciate both the superstition of it, as well as the brotherhood that two star players were able to form during their time together on the Raptors. Still, it gave me The Sixth Man vibes, before I quickly reminded myself that DeMar DeRozan is, in fact, very much alive. He's not dead, or even physically ill for that matter. He's just happens to be playing basketball in San Antonio for the time being. I don't want to speak for Kyle Lowry's teammates here, especially since the teammate who caused this heartbreaking split doesn't even speak, but I bet a couple of them were giving the side-eye to their point guard as he was dapping up the oxygen formerly occupied by DeMar DeRozan. Keeping an imaginary friend within reach probably provides him a more fulfilling off-court relationship than anything Kawhi Leonard is able to offer, but it's still as weird as it is woeful for Kyle Lowry to miss his running mate that much with the existence of things like technology and an offseason...that was far too familiar in length.
