There's a circulating NBA Rumors that suggests the Golden State Warriors may soon welcome Dwight Howard as their newest addition to the team.
The Golden State Warriors possess one of the NBA's most talented rosters, but some argue that their championship window is narrowing. With a lineup of exceptional shooters, the team is in search of a dominant big man who can secure rebounds. Dwight Howard, a former Los Angeles Lakers champion who most recently played in Taiwan, could potentially fill that role.
Training camp for the Warriors is scheduled to commence on October 2 in the Bay Area. According to reports by Jason Dumas on X, the team's veterans have given their approval to the idea of recruiting Howard back to the NBA.
After concluding a two-day interview process with General Manager Mike Dunleavy and Coach Steve Kerr's team, Howard's decision regarding the Warriors is expected soon. He is slated to work out with Draymond Green and Chris Paul in Los Angeles.
The Warriors are set to kick off their regular season against the Phoenix Suns, led by Kevin Durant, on October 24 at 10 p.m. ET. Should Howard join the team, he could play a significant role, especially since the departure of James Wiseman to the Detroit Pistons has left the team short on true centers.
Fans on NBA Twitter have expressed their desire for Howard's signing, emphasizing the need for a strong presence in the paint. Howard, who last played for the Taoyuan Leopards in Taiwan's T1 League, made appearances for the Lakers in the 2021-22 season, averaging 6.2 points and 5.9 rebounds at the age of 37.
