Kendrick Perkins: “Dwight Howard playing for the Lakers changes everything”

ESPN sports analysts Kendrick Perkins, Amin Elhassan and Brian Windhorst discuss what big man Dwight Howard deciding the play with the Los Angeles Lakers when the 2019-20 NBA season returns means for the team’s title hopes:

In 62 games so far this season, Howard has been a key contributor for the Lakers off the bench. He is averaging 7.5 points and 7.4 rebounds in just 19.2 minutes per game. A 3× NBA Defensive Player of the Year also has shot a career-best 73.2 percent on field-goal attempts this season.
