Howard, new teammates to start work in L.A. Monday
Within 24 hours signing on with the Rockets, Dwight Howard will return to Los Angeles. This time, however, will be very different.
Howard will be joining a group of Rockets players for workouts together in Los Angeles.
“I’m leaving for LA (Sunday),” Howard said. “A couple of those guys are flying with me. I’m looking forward to it. It’s a chance to learn each other, learn each other’s game, just have a feel for what we want to do as a team. The guys are excited, very excited.”
In addition to the players in Houston, Chandler Parsons and Patrick Beverley, Howard said he had received congratulatory messages or calls from James Harden and Jeremy Lin. Both will be a part of the workouts in Los Angeles.
“Me and James organized it,” Parsons said. “It was actually initially going to be in Orlando. I was hoping to keep some of the young guys there after summer league since they were already here. Once Dwight came, J Lin is out there already. Omri (Casspi) is coming out there. Terrence Jones, Greg Smith, Isaiah (Canaan), so we have a group good of guys. L.A. was more convenient, so I guess I had to travel the longest distance.”
