Former LA Lakers player, Dwight Howard, the now free agent center, had managed to etch his name among high-profile players in the NBA, despite his numerous off-court dramas. However, before joining the Taoyuan Leopards of the T1 league, Howard’s achievements include a 2020 NBA title with the Lakers, among others.
Following the fallout with the child’s mother Royce Reed, which led to Howard being tagged an evil man by Reed. The incident has reached another height as she recently talked about a lawsuit that might end their relationship, while also, boldly breaking news on Howard’s NBA career.
Royce Reed talks on divorce lawsuit with Dwight Howard
Dwight Howard’s child’s mother Royce Reed, has recently disclosed a potential lawsuit against the former eight-time NBA All-Star Howard. Royce Reed made the disclosure, during an appearance on VladTv, Royce was asked if she could file a similar civil lawsuit against Howard, as Cassie recently did against Diddy, over long-time abuse allegations.
Royce Reed said, “I have and I’m still considering it.” Per VladTv. Royce also disclosed that she suffered at the hand of Dwight Howard and hasn’t ruled out taking it up legally as well. Reed also added that a settlement can’t replace the recovery process she needs to go through.
Royce and Howard have a 15-year-old son, Braylon. Reed had filed a charge against Dwight Howard a year ago for neglecting the child, which she also claimed that Howard was an evil man engaged in unacceptable acts with a minor.
Meanwhile, Dwight Howard is a father of five children, amazingly with five different women. Howard had met Reed while she was a cheerleader for the Orlando Magic, where he kicked off his NBA career.
Royce Reed claims Dwight Howard will never return to NBA
Reed’s appearance on VladTv allowed her to discuss vital issues, and she also boldly stated that Howard’s NBA career is over. Saying it might be difficult for him to make a return to the NBA considering his controversial lifestyle.
“I don’t believe they F with him,” She added. “It’s the drama in general with him. It is a billion-dollar industry and you are bringing a player into it with all this drama that has nothing to do with basketball.”
Royce also talked down on Howard’s relationship with his teammates. She said Howard isn’t an ideal teammate, and she has heard similar views from a lot of people. Royce believed that it was part of the reason why Howard couldn’t get a jersey in the off-season.
However, a team like the Golden State Warriors reportedly had an eye for the center but decided not to recruit him, which many view as teams can’t afford Howard, for his demands or his potential drama. Additionally, Dwight Howard, having played for seven teams in the NBA before the T1 league, was able to earn remarkable feats, and his on-court dazzle was very much evident.
In his 18 seasons in the NBA, he averaged 15.7 points, 11.8 rebounds, and 1.3 assists in 31.8 minutes per game. While Dwight Howard’s off-court drama sounds unprofessional, the center’s on-court results still give him applause, which could probably see him return to the NBA, leaving Reed’s prediction unfulfilled.
