Will play in Orlando Howard announced Monday that he will join the Lakers in Orlando and play in the restarted season, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports. Impact Back on July 1, the Lakers submitted Howard as a member of their roster for the restart, which prevented them from getting a replacement free agent, according to Kyle Goon of The Orange County Register, making this decision even more helpful for the current top seed in the Western Conference. The veteran center has been a key piece off the Lakers' bench this season, and he'll look to pick up where he left off in March, averaging 7.5 points and 7.4 rebounds in 19.2 minutes per game.
