Dwight Howard having a pain in his ass is ironically probably the most Dwight Howard injury in NBA history. In any sense the injury to the Wizards’ big man was somewhat disclosed today when Shams Charania broke the headline of Dwight Howard’s ass pain, something he’s reportedly seeing a specialist for.
Sources on @TheAthleticNBA @WatchStadium: Washington Wizards center Dwight Howard visited a specialist in New York and has piriformis injury, which is a muscle in the buttocks. The injury isn't serious and Howard will continue treatment.

As you can see the injury isn’t serious so we can make jokes about it.
This news was obviously Twitter gold…
So he’s a literal pain in the ass.

No word yet on if Howard’s butt pain will hold him out of any regular season games once that rolls around.
