ORLANDO, Fla. – Back spasms have forced Dwight Howard to sit out the last two games for the Orlando Magic. But a source close to the team told Local 6 Sports Director David Pingalore that they believe Howard could have played in both contests.
The source told Pingalore Wednesday they believe the superstar would have played against the Denver Nuggets and Detroit Pistons if they were considered must-win games. Prior to those contests, Howard had missed only six games in his career.
