Dwight Howard got through his first full practice for the Washington Wizards on Monday since camp opened up in September. This is a good sign heading into the Thursday’s season opener against the Miami Heat.
As most know, Howard has been suffering through some recent back issues. It’s not surprising since he’s been dealing with back problems for the past three years. Howard suffered the injury while training in the offseason, and the pain worsened after the he took a promotional flight to China.
Originally, Howard stated that the injury shouldn’t cause him to miss significant time and that it was just a minor setback.
