‘Huge Possibility’ Dwight Howard Will Play Overseas This Season

Kobe Bryant. Steve Nash. Amare Stoudemire. Every day it seems like an NBA superstar is publicly saying they have or might consider playing basketball overseas while the NBA lockout drags on.

You can now add Orlando Magic center Dwight Howard to that list.

“I’m not at liberty to talk about it,” he said, “but there’s a huge possibility about me going to China or me going overseas to play basketball.”

“The big thing for me is not giving too much information away, but at the same time I still need to let people know what’s going on with me,” Howard said. “I don’t want to just sit over here and forget about basketball and waste, you know, opportunities for me to get better.”

Howard, a five-time All-Star who led Orlando to the NBA finals in 2009, is a marquee name for potential free agency in 2012.

Howard also recently said that he planned on holding basketball camps in China this year but the lockout screwed up his plans.
