Dwight Howard is taking the next step towards returning to action. He is returning to Washington to start on-court work after spending the last three months rehabbing from back surgery, according to The Athletic’s Shams Charania.
Although it’s unclear what the timetable is to get Howard from on-court work to back on the floor for NBA games, that he’s back in town suggests both sides are hopeful he can get to that point before the end of the season. If he’s cleared to play, then the big question will shift to what role he’ll play on the team going forward.
