I don't think it matters how "bad" it is. It's become apparent that even if he's out for only two games, without significant rest (maybe surgery), he will continue to re-injure it. AS a team, even a 10 game break for Dwight ends our season.

Dwight Howard aggravated his shoulder. He will be reevaluated tomorrow

CaCHooKa Man · by **CaCHooKa Man** on Wed Jan 30, 2013 11:45 pm

this team cant even survive 6 minutes without him, let alone 1 or 2 games if hes out

dwighthowardsdad · by **dwighthowardsdad** on Wed Jan 30, 2013 11:46 pm

If this is going to be a recurring theme, he should just opt to get surgery and sit out for the rest of the season. Why keep playing through it when you risk the chance of injury on any single given play? It makes no sense. Additionally, this team doesn't look like they're going very far, so why not take the time out to get healthy?

Basically.... The Suns went on a 19-8 run with Gasol in at C.

Hey, who cares what the Suns did, Gasol got his wish of big minutes and playing close to the basket. I think we should all be thankful that Pau achieved his individual milestones tonight.

Who cares about the team game.

Yup. The buffet line opened and the Suns ate their full.

No C for the last quarter...Scola is still cracking up.

Dwight Howard flatly ruled out shutting himself down or turning to surgery for the labrum injury in his right shoulder, even though he said the pain from this aggravation was the greatest since he first got hurt.

“Just got to deal with it as much as I can,” he said late Wednesday night after the Lakers’ loss to Phoenix.

Howard said that the shoulder pain on previous occasions has abated the day after, which he hopes will be the case again. Accordingly, the Lakers are expecting him play Friday in Minnesota, and Kobe Bryant said the labrum issue is one that will go on all season but with which Howard can learn to deal.

“I’m going to try as much as I can, but I don’t want to cause more damage to my shoulder,” Howard said.

Asked about possibly resting the shoulder for a week, which he did after the initial injury, Howard said: “I don’t want to, but we’ll see.”

Howard’s injury is not the common tear in the labrum itself that has sent many athletes into surgery and months of recovery. Howard has explained his injury as a tear only in the sense of the labrum tearing away from the bone in his shoulder.

Howard said: “I won’t lose my spirit, and I’ve just got to continue to do whatever I can to get my shoulder strong.”

really tough situation. if he was under contract long term or had many any public commitment to the organization, i think you'd make him get surgery right now. the season is tanked anyway. try to up gasol's trade value for the summer and let dwight recover and be himself again to start next year.

but since he's a FA who has been noncommital to the team, i'd imagine they want him on the floor. we've seen what happens when he's not.

GoldenKnight · by **GoldenKnight** on Thu Jan 31, 2013 6:12 am

You gotta feel for Dwight, after years of never getting seriously injured he has the back surgery & now this, his facial expression showed how much he wanted to be out there but simply could not. Wish D12 the best.

karacha · by **karacha** on Thu Jan 31, 2013 6:43 am

Alright, we have definitely seen our interior defense without Dwight. It's not pretty.

LakersN4 · by **LakersN4** on Thu Jan 31, 2013 6:48 am

Ok.. so which poster has courtside seats to spray Dwight's shoulder with deer antler?

Jazzygirl205 · by **Jazzygirl205** on Thu Jan 31, 2013 7:49 am

I seems like we can never avoid injuries. Can Dwight get the aid Kobe had in his knee in his shoulder?

Rooscooter · by **Rooscooter** on Thu Jan 31, 2013 7:57 am

He was favoring his shoulder from warmups on last night. He didn't move real well on offense most of the night and was constantly flexing it during the timeouts.

Like Lamar a few years ago.... it keeps getting incrementally worse and worse. At some point he'll go from being an asset to being a liability out there because of it.

When he hurt it again last night you could hear him yelling in pain all the way to the bench/locker room....
