Lakers News: Dwight Howard Reflects On Eight Seasons With Magic

Dwight Howard has had a resurgent year with the Los Angeles Lakers as he has become one of the team’s key contributors during the 2019-20 NBA season.

Howard — who signed a one-year, non-guaranteed deal with the Lakers in 2019 NBA free agency — has come off the bench and provided excellent defense and rebounding that has helped propel them to a league-best 23-3 record.

While Howard has won fans over in Los Angeles, there are still hard feelings about his departure from the Orlando Magic. According to Dave McMenamin of ESPN, he detailed how he felt during his messy exit from the Magic:

“I was super bitter at a lot of the things that transpired behind closed doors that none of the Magic fans or people really know about,” Howard said without revealing specifics.
