Dwight Howard can flirt with the Kings or the Magic, his future in the NBA is more than blocked. He had his chance with the Warriors before the start of the season, but nothing came of it. As he has not played in the NBA since April 2022 and his move to the Lakers, the former best defender in the NBA knows that the rest of his career must be written elsewhere.
And this is why, according to BasketNews, he is now looking for a team in Europe, after flying to Taiwan last season. The agents of Dwight Howard, who will turn 38 in ten days (December 8), are active and offering the former All-Star to teams in Europe. The Australian track, with the NBL, is not neglected either.
It would be a way to bounce back and above all to try to get closer to the Great League. Last May, Dwight Howard declared that he was “not still retired from the NBA.” Thus, the three-time defender of the year and 2020 champion would like to include an exit clause in his future contract, in order to join the NBA if a door opens to return to the country.
