    Has Dwight played his last game as a member of the Orlando Magic?

    I've been having these kind of problems for 5 years now and it limits so much of what you can do. If you run it gets worse, if you bend it hurts, you cough it hurts. How is that weak?

    The Pacers are 11-1 this month, the Magic 4-6. The Pacers were gonna win anyway. This does make it easier though

    Back surgery? He's not going to be the same player.

    OK, I was rightfully and deservedly called out on this.

    Reading this whole saga around him that's unfolding just made me feel a little less sympathetic for him. My first thought was he just flat-out quit. But, now that his health is a legitimate concern, I realize my comment was quite uncalled for. And I truly wish him a speedy recovery.

    :eek:

    This season basically showed that Dwight Howard is the true big baby and is as much a drama queen as all the current big name NBA players that we love to hate.

    That's the main thing I'm concerned about even though it won't stop Team USA from winning gold.

    Hope he fully recovers in time for next season but probably not.

    Yao and MerGady should be pushing hard for him to come to Houston.

    Am I the only one that's surprised by this? I had no idea Dwight had back problems. How long will it take for Dwight to be able to go back on the court again? 6 months? and 9 months to be his normal self again?

    So what will be left of his game if his athleticism is hampered?

    From Dwight Howard to Juwan Howard without a jumper.
