Lakers News: Dwight Howard Statement Confirms Support For Kyrie Irving & Canceling NBA Season

Much of the excitement surrounding the NBA and its Players Association voting to approve a 22-team plan for a bubble at Walt Disney World in Orlando, Fla., has now given way to some concern and conversations about a much larger issue at hand.

Led by Kyrie Irving, and with significant involvement from Avery Bradley, a large group of players have reportedly questioned whether resuming the 2019-20 NBA season is the best course of action amid the current civil unrest and social climate.

Dwight Howard, who’s enjoyed a renaissance season in a return to the Los Angeles Lakers, was also said to be among those who shared a similar view to Irving.
