Even with a minutes limit this is more good news for a team in need of plenty.
First, Patrick Beverley returned to practice and is expected to rejoin the rotation tonight. Now we learn that Dwight Howard has officially been cleared for the upcoming back-to back set on Sunday-Monday, according to ESPN's Calvin Watkins.
Howard sat one game of every back-to-back so far this season as he worked himself into shape from back and knee injuries. He will play against both the New York Knicks and the Detroit Pistons over the weekend.
