Howard Anticipates Restrictions Upon Return

Rockets star center Dwight Howard said Wednesday he’s getting close to returning to the court after missing the last 23 games with swelling in his right knee.

When he does return, Howard said he expects to be restricted to 20 to 25 minutes per game until he can build his endurance, and he won’t play in back-to-back games.

Howard didn’t reveal when he’ll return, though it’s expected to be in less than two weeks.
