Lakers announced Dwight Howard was examined and will not need surgery for that torn labrum he suffered back in January.

Dwight Howard said he is going to have his shoulder looked at tomorrow to see if he needs surgery.

Dwight Howard was ejected from Sunday's game vs the Spurs for arguing about a no call.

Dwight Howard finished with just 16 points on 7-of-12 shooting, nine rebounds, two assists, four blocks, five turnovers, and only shot four free throws (2-for-4) as the Lakers fell to the Spurs Wednesday 102-91.

We saw glimpses of his greatness in the early going, but he disappeared as the game progressed. The raw ability is there for Howard, but his time in LA has been anything but fruitful for his fantasy owners. His ability to rebound and block shots will keep him ranked among the best fantasy big men in the game, but he is no longer leading the class.

Dwight Howard had his fifth game this season with at least 25 points and 15 rebounds, which leads the NBA.

Dwight Howard received three stitches to his lower lip, but returned in 2nd half on Monday.

Mike D'Antoni feels Dwight Howard (shoulder) is 100 (percent) Healthy at this point." It took 69 games, but Howard is back.

Dwight Howard said he tweaked his shoulder just 17 seconds into the game Friday when David West blocked him. "It was hurting throughout the game." Howard stayed in the game and played through the injury so we wouldn't expected him to miss time.

Howard has struggled with this injury all season long, so it comes down to his ability to manage the pain. Luckily for Fantasy owners, Howard was able to finish out the game. Howard may continue to be an up and down Fantasy performer, but if Kobe were to miss an extended amount of time the Lakers would lean on Howard to carry the teams scoring load, thus increasing Howards Fantasy value, at least in the short-term.
