Dwight Howard signs one-year deal with 76ers
Former Los Angeles Lakers forward/center Dwight Howard has agreed to a one-year deal with the Philadelphia 76ers, according to Shams Charania of The Athletic.
Howard's stay in Los Angeles will be a short one as he ends his stay and heads east to join the 76ers and Doc Rivers. The 34-year-old played in 69 games for the Lakers last season, starting 2. The former first overall pick in the 2004 NBA draft will add another stop to his long career, serving as Joel Embiid's back up in Philadelphia.
Howard averaged 7.5 points, 7.3 rebounds, 0.7 assists, and 19.4 FanDuel points per game during the 2019-20 season.
