Months after Dwight Howard‘s Nov. 30 operation, the Wizards center has started his first on-court work as part of his rehab.
A day after his flight was initially delayed because of snow, Howard rejoined the Wizards in the District on Thursday to begin the next phase of his recovery. Before then, the 33-year-old was in his hometown of Atlanta, where he spent the last few months rehabbing.
Howard, who was originally supposed to miss two-to-three months, spent Thursday participating in light-shooting, coach Scott Brooks said. He was seen shooting free throws near the end of practice.
