After his recent exit from Dancing With the Stars, Dwight Howard is eager to return to the NBA and has expressed interest in joining the Oklahoma City Thunder. On Kevin Garnett's podcast, he emphasized his readiness to contribute as a big man, highlighting the team's need for energy and defensive skills.

The Thunder are currently facing injury challenges in their front court, which could make Howard's experience valuable, despite his last NBA season being in 2021-22 with the Los Angeles Lakers.
