Former NBA star Dwight Howard did not resign with the Lakers after he helped the franchise win a title, and he claims one of his ex-teammates is responsible.

Dwight Howard was a big reason the Lakers won the championship in the bubble back in 2020. But despite finishing ninth in Sixth Man of the Year voting that season, the eight-time All-Star was sent packing the next year.

When the Los Angeles Lakers faced the Brooklyn Nets on Monday night, the hope was that Luka Doncic would be able to get his team back on track in the aftermath of a 111-101 loss to the Boston Celtics and LeBron James suffering a groin injury.
