The Orlando Magic will be without Dwight Howard on Tuesday when they take on the Washington Wizards.
The Washington Wizards return home from a three-game road trip on Tuesday night to face the Orlando Magic at the Verizon Center. One notable absence from that game will be Magic center Dwight Howard, who will miss the next games, the second of which is their game in Washington, with a back injury.
After a prolonged drama ahead of the NBA trade deadline revolving around Howard's future with the Magic, he is back in the spotlight again this week. This time, Howard's fractured relationship with Magic coach Stan Van Gundy. SB Nation Tampa Bay has all the gruesome details of the latest Howard drama.
Howard's absence is something of a break for the Wizards, who are trying to end the season on a high note. They are in Charlotte Monday night to take on the Bobcats in battle of the two worst teams in the NBA.
