Dwight Howard returned to the Los Angeles Lakers this season and has turned into one of the team’s most important players. While there were some questions about whether or not Howard would participate in the NBA restart, he decided to come back and try to win his first championship.
Coincidentally, the career journey now forces Howard to make another return, this time to Orlando where he began his NBA career. Howard spent the first eight seasons of his career with the Orlando Magic after being drafted first overall in 2004.
He enjoyed his greatest success there as well, winning three consecutive Defensive Player of the Year Awards, making five All-NBA First Team appearances, and helping lead the team to the 2009 NBA Finals.
