Game Preview: San Antonio Spurs at Oklahoma City Thunder
Dwight Howard will remain with the Orlando Magic through at least the 2012/13 season, as he waived his Early Termination Option that would have enabled him to enter free agency earlier, he announced Thursday.
Spurs beat Magic behind strong performances by Parker and Duncan. Howard's trade rumors didn't seem to affect Orlando as much as the fatigue.
With a little more than 12 hours remaining until the NBA trade deadline, the Orlando Magic and New Jersey Nets are in trade talks regarding Magic center Dwight Howard, multiple reports indicate.
Tony Parker scored 16 of his game-high 31 points in the fourth quarter to lead the host San Antonio Spurs to a 122-111 victory against the Orlando Magic on Wednesday in what might be Dwight Howard's final game in Magic pinstripes.
Now that Dwight Howard and his agent, Dan Fegan, have indicated Howard will not waive his Early Termination Option, executives around the NBA believe the Orlando Magic have decided to trade Howard before Thursday's deadline, a new report says.
Dwight Howard will not agree to waive his Early Termination Option for the summer of 2012, a new report says, as he wishes to reserve the right to become a free agent. Reports earlier Wednesday indicated Howard would waive the ETO and forgo free agency until 2013.
