The Washington Wizards announced big man Dwight Howard will not play in Wednesday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans.
Candace Buckner of the Washington Post noted head coach Scott Brooks said Howard will meet with a nerve specialist in the next day or two.
The 32-year-old has dealt with a gluteal injury this season but was durable during the 2017-18 campaign, appearing in 81 games for the Charlotte Hornets. It was the first time he played at least 80 games since the 2009-10 season, as injuries have been an issue throughout the latter half of his career.
