Watch Washington Wizards center Dwight Howard discuss Luka Doncic, the Wizards defensive struggles against Dallas and his leadership role with the team.

The Washington Wizards early season struggles continued after a 119-100 loss to the Dallas Mavericks. When asked how he was feeling coming off a back injury Howard’s response hinted toward him being less than 100%. The Wizards struggles are uncharacteristic compared to how they finished last year, so they’ll be looking to turn things around. Once Howard can get back to being fully healthy Washington should become a better defensive team. If that is the case the Wizards can turn things around rather quickly, and find themselves in the playoff hunt.
