Dwight Howard expresses interest in Timberwolves backup role behind Gobert

Dwight Howard has publicly expressed interest in joining the Minnesota Timberwolves as a backup to Rudy Gobert. In a recent Instagram post, Howard mentioned Timberwolves player Anthony Edwards and suggested that he could effectively support Gobert in the upcoming season. The Timberwolves currently have only two centers on their roster, Gobert and rookie Rocco Zikarsky, following a recent trade that altered their frontcourt depth. At 40 years old, Howard, who has played internationally since leaving the NBA in 2022, remains hopeful for a return. His experience as a three-time Defensive Player of the Year and veteran presence could be beneficial for the Timberwolves as they aim for a championship run.
