LOS ANGELES – Dwight Howard signs with the Los Angeles Riot and will play his final season of professional basketball with the BIG3 in summer 2025.

Dwight Howard will tip off the league’s eighth season on Saturday, June 14, 2025, in Chicago, IL at Allstate Arena at 4pm ET, live on CBS.

More Dwight Howard news - Howard will be inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame and big man Shaq will walk Dwight Howard out, ending the beef between the two great basketball players.

“That’s awesome. I’ll do it,” he said Thursday in response to Howard’s social media post while speaking on “The Big Podcast with Shaq.” When co-host Adam Lefkoe expressed a bit of shock at O’Neal’s reaction, the legendary big man doubled down. 

“I’ll be there. … Of course. That’s my guy.” Source: The Big Podcast with Shaq
