Eight-Time NBA All-Star Dwight Howard Signs With Taiwanese Pro Team

After spending the last few months as a free agent, Dwight Howard announced Monday night that he has made a decision on where he plans to continue his playing career. And the destination may come as a bit of a surprise to long-time fans of the future Hall of Fame center.

Howard revealed on his Instagram that he’s headed overseas to play for the Taoyuan Leopards of Taiwan’s T1 League. The eight-time All-Star has not played since wrapping up his third stint with the Lakers, where he won his first NBA title in 2020, at the end of the 2021–22 season.
