New Atlanta Hawks center Dwight Howard was hospitalized late Sunday after falling ill on a flight home from China, according to a report in the Atlanta-Journal Constitution.
Howard, who had just wrapped up a 10-day promotional tour in China, was suffering from dehydration and reportedly was released Monday morning after treatment.
Howard joined his hometown team over the summer, signing a three-year, $70 million contract after stints with the Orlando Magic, Los Angeles Lakers and Houston Rockets.
