Dwight Howard hasn't had any setbacks w/ back
Dwight Howard - C - Los Angeles Lakers
Jan. 2, 2013 - 8:00 AM ET

Dwight Howard said he has had no setbacks as he recovers from offseason back surgery.

Kobe Bryant spoke for Howard, saying ""it's been frustrating for him because of the nature of the injury and trying to come back and meet the expectations we all have for him. It's tough to deal with that when you're not physically the same player that you were." Originally, Howard wasn't even expected to play until January, so hopefully for both fantasy owners and the Lakers, the big man will soon begin to resemble the player he was in Orlando.
