Lakers star Dwight Howard wants to play in NBA restart
湖人明星Dwight Howard想打復賽

July 2 (UPI) -- Los Angeles Lakers center Dwight Howard wants to play in the
NBA season restart this month in Orlando, Fla., and the team said it won't
replace the 16-year veteran despite some concern that he would opt out.
湖人中鋒Dwight Howard想去奧蘭多打NBA的復賽，儘管球隊對於他可能會選擇不打有些考
量，但是球團表示不會把這位打了16年NBA老將給換掉。

Howard in May called basketball and entertainment "distractions" amid the
Black Lives Matter social justice movement. He also cares for his 6-year-old
son, David, whose mother died in March.
在美國目前BLM的抗議風潮下，五月時Howard那時說籃球跟娛樂活動是"分心"。他也擔心他
六歲大的兒子David，他的生母今年五月過世。

"We've been in communication with Dwight the whole way with supportive phone
calls and text messages," Lakers coach Frank Vogel told reporters. "We don't
know what the level of participation is going to be yet. He wants to play.
We're hopeful that he's able to join us."


The NBA season has been suspended since mid-March due to the coronavirus
pandemic but is scheduled to resume July 30 at Disney's ESPN Wide World of
Sports Complex in Orlando. Some Lakers players reported to a pre-training
camp Wednesday in El Segundo, Calif., but Howard did not. The team plans to
fly to central Florida next week.
三月中因為武漢肺炎爆發導致NBA比賽中止，目前預計7/30會在佛州奧蘭多ESPN的Wide
World Sports Complex重啟。一些湖人球員已經在星期三時到了加州El Segundo的賽前訓
練營報到，但是Howard沒來。球團計畫下周飛到佛州。

Howard is in Georgia as he satisfies the NBA's home quarantine and testing
protocols for players who will participate in the season restart.
Howard目前是在喬治亞州完成NBA的居家隔離以及完成要參加復賽的球員檢驗規定。

Lakers General Manager Rob Pelinka said the team is working with Howard's
agent, the league and the NBA Players Association to find a way for Howard to
report to the team. The 22 teams that plan to participate in the restart had
to submit rosters -- with a maximum of 17 players -- to the league by
Wednesday.


"He has an extenuating circumstance that he's working with the league on in
terms of what that is ultimately going to look like," Vogel said. "But we're
hopeful and optimistic that he'll be able to join us in Orlando."
「他的狀況情有可原，所以他跟聯盟正在努力，想要把這狀況解決好，」Vogel說。「但是
我們對於他將夠到奧蘭多加入我們保持希望且樂觀的態度。」
