Dwight has had back and knee issues the past couple of years. That is a bad sign for a big man who relies mostly on his athleticism.
His knee is what has been giving him most of the problems this year and it appears he will be out for an extended amount of time.
The Houston Rockets are bracing for the loss of Dwight Howard for at least a month due to persistent trouble with his right knee, according to league sources.
Sources told ESPN.com that the Rockets, while confident that Howard has enough time to bounce back for the regular-season stretch run and playoffs, fear their defensive anchor will be lost for a period of “weeks” as opposed to days.
