Dwight Howard Denied Comeback with Warriors: Exploring Options for the Veteran Center

2023-09-22 17:24:00

In contact with the Warriors this week, Dwight Howard hoped to get a spot in Golden State to make his comeback in the NBA. The San Francisco Bay franchise has decided otherwise.

Dwight Howard to the Warriors, nope.

According to Shams Charania of The Athletic, Golden State has decided not to sign the 37-year-old former star pivot, who spent the last few days in San Francisco to train and meet with Warriors leaders. Shams adds that the California franchise ultimately does not intend to sign a veteran center before the start of training camp in early October, and that it prefers to maintain flexibility in view of a possible signing in the future .

For your information, the Warriors still have two free places in their current squad.

What does this actually mean for Dwight Howard? That he will have to knock on the doors of other franchises potentially interested in the services of a veteran pivot, if possible franchises that are playing for the title. Discussions might take place in the coming week if Shams is to be believed, but the insider did not provide details on the identity of the teams in question. As a reminder, the last time we saw Dwight in an NBA jersey was with the Lakers where he averaged 6 points and 6 rebounds in 2021-22.

After having a good time with Taiwan, Dwight Howard now seems determined to return to the NBA to bring his physical and athletic dimension to a limited playing time. Will he be entitled to one last chapter in the Great League?
