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.

Howard is expected to discuss a possible return to the league with any other interested teams next week. The 37-year-old basketball player last played in the NBA in the 2021-22 season with the Los Angeles Lakers, averaging 6.2 points and 5.9 rebounds per game. He spent last season in Taiwan.
