Dwight Howard is healthy, the Lakers basically stole him from the Magic for nothing. It is looking more and more that he is going to be ok and will make his preseason debut this weekend.
Barring any complications with Howard’s back over the next couple days, the Lakers are optimistic the All-Star center will make their first appearance for them on Sunday.
“He is making progress,” one Lakers source told Yahoo! Sports. “There is a good chance he can play Sunday.”
Meanwhile, Andrew Fredrick Douglas Bynum is still not close to playing.
