Lakers eye Howard

Dwight Howard has been given permission by the Memphis Grizzlies to talk with the Los Angeles Lakers, who are seeking a center after a knee injury to DeMarcus Cousins, according to reports. ESPN, USA Today and sports website The Athletic say the Grizzlies have approved talks between the Lakers and Howard, who led the NBA in rebounds when he played for the Lakers in the 2012-13 season. Cousins suffered a knee injury that will likely sideline him for the entire 2019-20 campaign, leaving LeBron James’s club searching for strength in the middle, with JaVale McGee the team’s lone center. While Lakers newcomer Anthony Davis could shift from power forward to center, he’s more likely to stay at forward to maximize his impact, leaving the Lakers in search of a veteran big man.
