Dwight Upset Orlando Let Another Player Wear His No. 12 Jersey

Dwight Howards’s departure from Orlando almost makes LeBron’s look innocent. But more than a year later, why is Dwight still talking about his days in Orlando? He needs to just let that go and get on with his career. The sooner he stops talking about the Magic, the better it will be.

After he left Orlando, the team gave his number 12 jersey to another player, and apparently, Dwight had an issue with that. Did he expect them to retire it?

Howard said he was disappointed that, last February, after the Magic acquired Tobias Harris in a trade, the team granted Harris’ request to wear No. 12, Howard’s old number.

“I just think that despite whatever happened, there was a lot of things that I did and that we did as a team, and that number was special down there,” Howard said. “And I was a little bit upset about that.”
