Days After Rejection from Stephen Curry and the Warriors, Dwight Howard Hints Joel Embiid Reunion?

Over the last few days, the Dubnation had their hype meter, swinging high to low because of Dwight Howard. The 6′ 10 baller, who was out of the league for a season, trained with the Golden State Warriors. While fans expected a tall center to don the Dubs’ jersey, Stephen Curry’s Warriors dropped the plan and rejected the former NBA Champion. Meanwhile, Howard hinted at his reunion Philadelphia 76ers with his recent social media upload.

After failing to attract an NBA contract during his free agency in 2022, Howard signed up with Taiyuan Leopards from a Taiwanese league. Moreover, during the NBA playoff, 8x All-Star went viral on social media as he mocked several stars. He trolled stars like James Harden and Kevin Durant to join him, considering their team’s failure in playoffs. Months after that, ahead of the 2023-24 season opener, he has been in contention to join the league again.

Following the rejection from Stephen Curry & Co, Howard hints at a Philly comeback

After missing out on an entire season, Dwight Howard got an opportunity to play alongside Stephen Curry. Moreover, the star was seen sweating it out in the Warriors camp. Unfortunately, he couldn’t make it to the roster. Following that, Howard ironically shared a tweet after his rejection. While it seemed like all doors were closed for the former Philly star, he hinted at a Philly reunion with his recent IG post.

Howard took to IG and shared multiple photos of him grinding in the gym. Importantly, the caption of the post hinted at the possible Philly reunion. It read, “Trust the process.” It may seem like an usual motivational quote, but it has a huge Sixers connotation and a possible team up with Joel Embiid.

During the 2020-21 season, Howard represented the Sixers and produced a decent record. He registered an average of 7 points in his 17-minute average game time.
