Basketball Hall of Famer and former NBA star Dwight Howard agrees to return to professional basketball by signing with Black Fortress Tbilisi in Georgia. The team announces that he will join the roster when the club’s season begins in October.
The reports describe the move as Howard’s return after a brief retirement, with the signing bringing international attention to a newly promoted club. Both outlets note his past experience outside the NBA, including playing in Taiwan and Dubai, before the Georgia announcement.
While the Oregonian focuses on the agreement to play and the club’s announcement, the Times of India emphasizes the timing in October and frames the decision as a “surprising return” after retirement. Across sources, the central point remains that Howard is set to continue his playing career with Black Fortress Tbilisi in the upcoming season.
