Dwight Howard: (Ankle) Game-Time Decision Sunday

Howard (ankle) was unable to participate in Sunday's morning shootaround and will be considered a game-time decision against the Lakers, the Houston Chronicle reports.

Analysis:

Howard's unavailability for shootaround doesn't bode well for his status, but there still remains hope that he's saving himself for when it matters. If Howard is ultimately unable to play, expect Joey Dorsey to see extended time on the court.
