8x NBA All-Star Reportedly "Will Meet With The Golden State Warriors"
Dwight Howard is one of the greatest players to ever play in the NBA.
He most recently played in the league during the 2021-22 season when he was a member of the Los Angeles Lakers and averaged 6.2 points and 5.9 rebounds per contest while shooting 61.2% from the field in 60 games.
Last year, the 37-year-old played in Taiwan, and he currently remains a free agent that is available to be signed by any team in the league.
On Friday, Shams Charania of The Athletic and Stadium reported that Howard "will meet with the Golden State Warriors next week."
Via Charania: "Eight-time NBA All-Star Dwight Howard will meet with the Golden State Warriors next week, sources tell @TheAthletic @Stadium. The team has been exploring signing a reserve veteran big man, and now the 2020 Lakers championship center will visit with Warriors officials soon."
Howard was initially the first pick in the 2004 NBA Draft out of high school by the Orlando Magic.
In addition to the Lakers and Magic, he has also played for the Houston Rockets, Charlotte Hornets, Atlanta Hawks, Philadelphia 76ers and Washington Wizards.
Over 18 seasons, Howard has career averages of 15.7 points, 11.8 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 1.8 blocks per contest while shooting 58.7% from the field in 1,242 regular season games (he has also appeared in 125 NBA playoff games and won the 2020 NBA Championship with the Lakers).
Meanwhile, the Warriors are coming off a season where they lost to the Lakers in the second round of the NBA playoffs (in six games).
