Report: Dwight Howard Will Sign One-Year Deal With Wizards After Nets Complete Buyout

After getting traded by the Hornets to the Nets right before the NBA draft, Dwight Howard has found a new team to play for once Brooklyn buys out his contract, as he will join the Wizards on a one-year deal, Jared Weiss of The Athletic reports.

Howard's deal will be for the taxpayer mid-level exception of $5.3 million, according to Weiss.

Once he clears waivers and can join the Wizards, it will make Washington the fourth team Howard has played for in the past four seasons, excluding the Nets since he never played a game for Brooklyn.
