Wizards' Dwight Howard (back) to start on-court work

Washington Wizards forward/center Dwight Howard will return to Washington D.C. on Wednesday to start on-court work, reports Shams Charania of The Athletic.

What It Means:

Howard has been rehabilitating in Atlanta since undergoing spinal surgery in November. If he winds up playing again for the Wizards this season, it would likely mean less work for rookie Thomas Bryant, who has started every game at center since Howard went down.

Dwight averaged 26.4 FanDuel points in nine games before the injury, with 12.8 points and 9.2 rebounds per contest.
