Despite constant rumours throughout the past couple of weeks, Wojnarowski says that the Raptors did not find a suitable return for the six-time All-Star before the 3 pm ET/12 pm PT deadline.
Wojnarowski also added that Lowry was always open to staying with the team for the rest of the season.
In the end, Masai Ujiri didn't find a package that compelled him to trade Kyle Lowry — and Lowry had always been fine with completing the season with the Raptors, sources tell ESPN. Now, Lowry can head to free agency in the summer. https://t.co/JOoY9WMKNf

Toronto made three moves before the deadline, including trading Norman Powell to the Portland Trail Blazers, moving Matt Thomas to the Utah Jazz and sending Terrence Davis to the Sacramento Kings.
Lowry is in the final year of a contract paying him $30 million, and will become a free agent at the end of the season.
