We’re starting to lose count of the number of guys who have been reported to have interest in playing overseas during the lockout. But when a big name says something pretty conclusively, we need to listen. Dwight Howard sounds like he’s serious. We’ll see.
Orlando Magic center Dwight Howard reiterated Sunday that he is considering playing overseas if the NBA’s labor impasse continues.
“I’m not at liberty to talk about it, but there’s a huge possibility about me going to China or me going overseas to play basketball,” Howard told The Associated Press in an interview Sunday in Fairburn, Ga., where Howard was hosting a charity basketball game.
During the interview, Howard stopped short of saying he was in contract talks with a foreign team.
“The big thing for me is not giving too much information away, but at the same time I still need to let people know what’s going on with me,” Howard said, according to The Associated Press. “I don’t want to just sit over here and forget about basketball and waste, you know, opportunities for me to get better.”
