Dwight Howard 'likely' to play on Sunday
Dwight Howard - C - Los Angeles Lakers

Dwight Howard (shoulder) is reportedly boarding a plane in Los Angeles to join the team in Detroit and is likely to play on Sunday.
It would appear that he didn't suffer more damage to his shoulder in Wednesday's loss to Phoenix, which is surprising since he was in agonizing pain. Howard missed Friday's game against Minnesota and it should be interesting to see how his labrum responds. He has already separated his labrum at least once and there's a good chance he'll have to tolerate pain when he raises his arm above his head. Dwight is essentially a ticking time bomb and his owners should be exploring trade options.
