But now the eyes are just irritated more than anything, and he expects to play against the Sixers on Wednesday night. [...]

The announcement was made Tuesday. The 23-year-old Howard is the youngest player to win the award.

Gortat collects 18 rebounds in start
Marcin Gortat got the start as Dwight Howard got the night off on Monday against the Bucks. Gortat played 43 minutes and had 10 points and 18 rebounds as the Magic lost 98-80.
Our View: Gortat has played well as Howard's backup all season, but he only averages about 12 minutes per game. Don't expect to see much of him in the postseason, although you have to appreciate the 18 boards tonight.
Dwight Howard did not play in the Orlando Magic's game at Milwaukee

Howard held to 14 in win
Dwight Howard had 14 points and 13 rebounds as the Magic beat the Grizzlies 81-78 on Wednesday. He shot 5-of-11 from the field and 4-of-9 from the line.
Our View: Howard was coming off a low-scoring night against Yao Ming on Tuesday, and he may have been a bit worn down. He was still able to grab 13 rebounds, so we shouldn't label the game as a complete disappointment.
Magic center Dwight Howard had just 13 points and 10 rebounds
News: Magic center Dwight Howard had just 13 points and 10 rebounds in his matchup with Houston center Yao Ming on Tuesday. The 7-feet-6 Yao went 8-for-13 from the field and also blocked two shots. He played 38 minutes and got some help from 7-2 Dikembe Mutombo in handling Howard, the NBA's leading rebounder and shot blocker. "He keeps getting stronger and he has quickness," said Yao, in his seventh season. "He has learned a lot of offensive skills. I'm just going to hang in there and hopefully next year, we can match up." [...]

Dwight Howard has been named the Eastern Conference Player of the Week, according to the Sports Network. Howard averaged 23.7 points, a league-high 15.3 boards and 2.3 blocks last week while leading the Magic to a 3-1 record.
Our View: The elite center earned the weekly honor for the second straight week, and the fourth time this season.

Howard dominates Hawks in win
Dwight Howard posted 21 points, 23 rebounds, five assists, four blocks, and three steals as the Magic defeated the Hawks 88-82 on Saturday. The big man hit 9-of-12 from the free-throw line.
Our View: Just another dominant game from one of the game's best. While he can be a category killer regarding free-throw percentage, his extreme positives far outweigh his negatives. He is among the most fun of all players to own in fantasy thanks to dominant lines such as tonight's.
Howard records double-double in victory
Dwight Howard collected another double-double Friday against Cleveland. He finished Orlando's big 116-87 win with 20 points and 11 rebounds.
Our View: That's now seven double-doubles in 10 games for the big fella. He also shot 8-of-13 from the floor, marking the 11th time in the last 13 games he has shot better than 60 percent. But I suppose it shouldn't be that hard when three-fourths of your attempts are within two feet of the rim.

Howard drops 30 on Raptors
Dwight Howard did everything he could on Wednesday, but it wasn't enough as the Magic fell to the Raptors 99-95. He exploded for 30 points and had nine rebounds as well.
Our View: This is the first time Howard scored 30 or more points since February 22nd. It is the kind of day his fantasy owners were waiting for.
