Josh Howard (ACL surgery) wrote on Friday that his rehab is "going great ... it was a clean tear of the ACL this time and nothing else was damaged."
In a post entitled "Staying Positive and Putting It All In Perspective," Howard goes on to thank the Wolves for signing him and he ends on a note suggesting he'll make another NBA comeback attempt. "As soon as they release me to start doing exercises, I'm going to take a page out of Adrian Peterson's book," he wrote. "The sky's the limit for me." Jan 28 - 4:50 PM

Josh Howard - G/F - Timberwolves

The Timberwolves have waived Josh Howard after an MRI revealed he has a season-ending torn ACL.

It's not the same ACL that Howard tore in 2010, but nevertheless, it's pretty evident that Howard's most productive days are behind him, and beat writer Jerry Zgoda suggests that this is "probably" the end of Howard's career. The 32-year-old averaged a career-low 6.7 points in 11 games this season.

Josh Howard - G/F - Timberwolves

Josh Howard (knee) hopes to return to action vs. the Knicks on Sunday.

The veteran was picked up once Brandon Roy (knee) went down again, but Roy is nearing a return and there's no upside for Howard in standard leagues.

Josh Howard - G/F - Timberwolves

Josh Howard (knee) will not travel with the Timberwolves on the upcoming two-game road trip.

Howard will be out both Monday and Tuesday, leaving the Wolves with one less wing option on the bench. With Andrei Kirilenko back in the fold after his bout with back spasms, Howard didn't have much fantasy appeal even when healthy.

Josh Howard - G/F - Timberwolves

Josh Howard (knee) will not play against the Mavericks on Saturday.

Howard hyperextended his knee in Friday's game and did not return. The Wolves don't really need him now that Andrei Kirilenko is back and they'll be able to run some three-guard lineups now that Ricky Rubio has returned. Howard can remain on the waiver wire in the majority of leagues.

Josh Howard - G/F - Timberwolves

Josh Howard hyperextended his right knee in the first half of Friday's game and he will not return.

This is not the same knee that had ACL reconstructive surgery back in 2010. Howard has lost a lot of his fantasy luster with Andrei Kirilenko back and can be left on the waiver wire in almost all leagues.

Josh Howard - G/F - Timberwolves

Josh Howard (illness) is expected to play on Friday against the Hornets, and he could start at shooting guard.

Rick Adelman said that either Howard or Alexey Shved would start at shooting guard in place of Malcolm Lee (knee), but we like Shved as the better fantasy play and the likely starter between the two. Shved played 31 minutes in his last game and is now averaging 25 minutes per game this season.

Josh Howard - G/F - Timberwolves

Josh Howard (illness) was limited in practice and is questionable for Friday's game against the Hornets.

Howard didn't play on Wednesday with the ailment, and now that Andrei Kirilenko is back, there isn't a lot of upside with Howard for fantasy owners.

Josh Howard (illness) will not play against the Nuggets on Wednesday.

Howard played just 19 minutes on Monday with Andrei Kirilenko in the lineup, so he lost a lot of his luster in almost all leagues. He should be considered questionable for Friday against the Hornets.

Josh Howard - G/F - Timberwolves

Josh Howard scored two points on 1-of-4 shooting with three rebounds and a steal in 19 minutes off the bench on Friday.

Howard has lost whatever value he had now that Andrei Kirilenko is back.

Josh Howard - G/F - Timberwolves

Josh Howard had his best game of the season with 16 points, 10 rebounds and two 3-pointers on 7-of-12 shooting in 29 minutes of Tuesday's blowout win over the Sixers.

Andrei Kirilenko could miss the rest of the week with his back problems and Howard is starting in his place, meaning Howard is at least worth a short-term look if it happens. But the reality with Howard is that the more minutes he plays, the better the chances are that he'll break down later on.

Josh Howard - G/F - Timberwolves

Josh Howard started at small forward for injured Andrei Kirilenko (back) on Friday, scoring eight points on 3-of-8 shooting with four rebounds, two assists, and one steal in 24 minutes.

Howard will be worth a look when he's given spot action like this, but only in massive formats. Otherwise, there's not enough meat to this bone to pay him too much attention.

Josh Howard - G/F - Timberwolves

Josh Howard admitted that he's working his way into basketball shape.

"This is my training camp," he said. "I'm going through my second week just like everybody else was going through their second week. Only everybody else got a full month." With Chase Budinger (knee surgery), Brandon Roy (knee surgery) and Andrei Kirilenko (back spasms) all sidelined, Howard played 26 minutes in his last game.

Josh Howard - G/F - Timberwolves

Josh Howard started for Andrei Kirilenko (back) on Wednesday and had seven points, three rebounds, a block and a 3-pointer on 3-of-9 shooting.

Howard is getting some run and playing fairly well, but still hasn't shown enough to be considered in most fantasy leagues.
