It sounds like the Los Angeles Lakers have some help on the way.

According to a report, both Dwight Howard and Talen Horton-Tucker have cleared health and safety protocols.

Horton-Tucker, meanwhile, has appeared in 15 games. So far, he’s averaging 11.3 points, 4.5 rebounds and 2.9 assists per contest. He’s shooting 40.6 percent from the field.
