Golden State Warriors won’t sign Dwight Howard

The Golden State Warriors will not sign Dwight Howard or another center before the start of training camp, according to The Athletic.

Howard had a two-day visit with the Warriors this week that included meetings and workouts, including a session with Draymond Green and Chris Paul on Thursday in Los Angeles. Steve Kerr’s team wants to maintain flexibility to bring in a center later in camp or during the regular season.
