Dwight Howard says labrum not torn
Dwight Howard - C - Los Angeles Lakers
Jan. 8, 2013 - 7:15 PM ET

Dwight Howard said on Tuesday that his labrum isn't actually torn, but just that the bone has separated from the labrum, meaning the injury isn't as serious as it could have been.

He's still not a lock to play in a single game this week, but he does sound more "day-to-day" than "out indefinitely," which jives with our report from earlier this morning. He's sitting as a precaution right now and owners should look for him to be back on the court sooner than later, although as of now, it sounds like he won't be reevaluated until next week.
