If the Toronto Raptors defeat the Boston Celtics in Game 7 on Friday, Kyle Lowry will get a $500,000 bonus, per Bobby Marks of ESPN.
The Raptors are looking to advance to the conference finals for the second straight season. Toronto, of course, won the championship last season over the Golden State Warriors in six games.
Not that Kyle Lowry will need any more motivation in a G7 but a $500K bonus will be earned if Toronto can advance to the ECF.

Kyle Lowry has been terrific in the 2020 playoffs for the Raptors. The All-Star guard has been averaging 17.9 points, 6.6 rebounds and 6.0 assists in the 2020 playoffs so far, all while shooting 42.9 percent from the field, 33.3 percent from beyond the arc and 79.6 percent from the free-throw line.
The winner of the Raptors-Celtics series will face Jimmy Butler and the Miami Heat in the Eastern Conference Finals.
This Boston-Toronto series has been so up and down. The Celtics were 0.4 seconds away from taking a 3-0 lead in Game 4 before Raptors small forward OG Anunoby saved the team's season by hitting a game-winner over Jaylen Brown at the buzzer.
How elite of a competitor is Lowry? Well, he played 53 minutes in Game 6, which went into double overtime. He also got three stitches. With that said, it's easy to see why Raptors fans love Kyle and everything he stands for.
Game 7 will surely be an intense game between the Raptors and Celtics, and it's going to be fascinating to see which team comes out on top.
