Dwight Howard, renowned as a titan among giant-sized basketball players, first joined the Los Angeles Lakers in 2012 poised for greatness.

Returning to the Lakers in 2020, like a boomerang with impeccable aim, he landed a championship and secured his Hall of Fame destiny. Now, Howard is ready to claim the title of 2025 Hall of Fame inductee, giving fans the chance to celebrate on Sep. 6, as his storied legacy unfolds on NBA TV at 4 p.m. PT.

If accolades were cookies, Howard would own the entire bakery! He was a groundbreaking force with the Orlando Magic, leading them to the NBA Finals in 2009. In 2025, he’ll join fellow inductees like Carmelo Anthony, Billy Donovan, and several WNBA legends, making it the most star-studded club since the universe formed the Milky Way.
