Howard, 37, played last season in Taiwan after 18 NBA seasons.
The Warriors are reportedly set to meet with an eight-time All-Star next week.
Dwight Howard, last seen playing professionally in Taiwan, is expected to come to the Bay Area and meet with Golden State about a backup center job, as firstGolden State has Kevon Looney locked in as the starting center after playing 82 games each of the last two seasons, but there are questions behind him in the rotation. Draymond Green will surely move up a position to take some center minutes, but at 33, the Warriors will want to avoid taxing him so heavily.
Howard, 37, would fill the need for physicality at the backup center position, and he has relevant experience. During the Lakers’ 2020 run to the title in the NBA bubble, he played a key role, including as a physical irritant to Nikola Jokić in the West finals. Just as teams tinkered to beat the Warriors after their championships, Golden State knows it may need a way to beat Denver in the playoffs.
Prior to that run with Los Angeles, Howard had been one of the NBA’s brightest stars and, later, one of its most-mocked goats. In Orlando, where he spent his first eight seasons from 2004-2012, Howard was a perennial contender to lead the league in rebounds and blocks. He and the Magic made a run to the 2009 NBA Finals with a team built around his interior presence, complemented by outside shooting.
