With Friday’s game marking four weeks since Dwight Howard went out with right knee edema, Howard has been running on a weight-controlled treadmill (along with the weight lifting and swimming he has been doing all month), but is not yet scheduled to increase his rehabilitation to on-court drills.
Howard has been able to steadily increase the percentage of his body weight on the treadmill without any setbacks, according to a person with knowledge of the process.
Howard has an MRI scheduled for several days next week, starting on Wednesday, with his and his doctor’s schedule to determine when he will undergo the examination that could clear him for the next step in his rehab. Wednesday would mark four weeks since his bone marrow aspirate injection.
