Dwight Howard, the 37-year-old center, is keen on playing with the Los Angeles Lakers for the fourth time. He spent his last season playing in Taiwan and wasn’t a part of any team in the NBA. The Lakers have space on their roster, and they would probably love to get a legendary center.
The Lakers have landed a lot of players on their roster this season and have also re-signed many. They are stacked and are prepared for another title quest, but can they use one of the remaining spots for one of the best centers of the game? Here is all you need to know about Howard and his reunion with the Lakers!
What is the History between the Lakers and Dwight Howard?
Howard represented the Orlando Magic for 8 years before coming to the Lakers for the first time in the 2012-13 season, which did not end well as the Lakers lost to the San Antonio Spurs in the first round of the playoffs. Things could not work out, and he left for Houston Rockets, where he played for three seasons, after which he played for the Atlanta Hawks, the Charlotte Hornets, and the Washington Wizards for one season each.
He returned to the Lakers in the 2019-20 season, won the title, and went to the Sixers and the Lakers again in the subsequent seasons. He did not play in the NBA last season.

What did Dwight Howard say about his comeback?
The veteran star said that he has got a different kind of connection with the Lakers, and no matter wherever he goes, he might not be able to feel the same. He has won a title there, and that obviously is one of the factors for the immense love he has got for the Lakers. He is very interested in wearing the Lakers kit again and getting rolling.
