The Washington Wizards are trading Dwight Howard to the Memphis Grizzlies for CJ Miles, league sources told ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski.
The Grizzlies will waive or trade Howard, according to a source, however it is possible there no longer exists a marketplace of teams interested in signing Howard.
The deal saves Memphis $3.1 million.
Howard, 33, played only nine games for the Wizards last season because of a back injury. The former All-NBA center averaged 16.6 points and 12.5 rebounds in 30.4 minutes per game for the Charlotte Hornets in the 2017-18 season.
Miles, 32, averaged 9.3 points in 22.6 minutes per game for the Grizzlies, who acquired the wing in February in the Marc Gasol trade with the Toronto Raptors.
