The 8 time All-Star and 3 time defensive player of the year, Dwight Howard to sign with the Los Angeles Lakers once the buyout completes with the Memphis Grizzles.
ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski reported that Howard will have a non-guaranteed contract and that the Lakers are proceeding “with caution.”
“Howard had several meetings with Lakers officials, and they’ll give him a chance to show he’s made changes in how he conducts himself,” Wojnarowski added. “Lakers players were involved in process.”
Last season was the worst of Howard’s NBA career, as he only appeared in nine games for the Wizards. He last played Nov. 18 before undergoingan L4-L5 lumbar microdiscectomy on Nov. 30 to end his 2018-19 campaign.
Howard established himself as a star in the league long before his yearlong stint in Washington.
The 33-year-old big man is set to prove that he is still a valuable center in the league who can help win games and assist LeBron James, Anthony Davis and the Los Angeles Lakers on their championship campaign this season.
