Prior to his season in Asia, Howard spent eighteen seasons in the NBA, where he earned over $245million in the process.
Now looking to make his comeback in the U.S., Howard has reportedly worked out for the Golden State Warriors, according to ESPN’s Kendra Andrews.
“While this has brought up a lot of conversation externally I’m told that the Warriors are looking at this just as another workout, just another guy they are bringing in to get a look at,” she said on NBA Today.
“They want to look at a veteran, they want to look at a big man. But by bringing him into San Francisco this week, that doesn’t mean he is a member of the team.
“This is just another part of the process as they work to fill out the remaining roster spots.”
Howard’s NBA career started in 2004 when he was drafted first overall by the Orlando Magic.
He went on to spend eight seasons in Florida before heading for the Los Angeles Lakers in what proved to be his first of three stints with the team.
Three seasons with the Houston Rockets followed before a series of one-year deals saw him suit up for the Atlanta Hawks, Charlotte Hornets, Washington Wizards, and the Philadelphia 76ers.
All in all, during Howard’s career to date he has been named an All-NBA First-Teamer five times, been named Defensive Player of the Year three times, led the league in rebounds five times, and blocks twice.
He has also hoisted the Larry O’Brien trophy once during his second stint with the Lakers in 2020.
Last season, Howard proved he still had it, leading the T1 League in rebounds, while also being named an All-Star and All-T1 League First-Teamer.
And it seems his time in Asia left its mark on Howard.
On September 10, he tweeted: “Missing Taiwan like crazy! Having traveled the world, every place I’ve been has stolen a piece of my heart.
“The love I’ve received while exploring has been absolutely unparalleled. Nothing compares to it!
“Sending a massive shoutout to my incredible Asian family, friends, and fans. Love you all!”
