Dwight Howard (knee) ruled out for Philadelphia Wednesday

Philadelphia 76ers forward/center Dwight Howard will not play Wednesday in the team's game against the Brooklyn Nets.

What It Means:

Howard has been ruled out late due to a knee injury. It's unclear how serious the ailment is, but he'll miss at least Wednesday's tilt. Mike Scott figures to move into the second-team center role, and Paul Reed could enter the rotation.

In 54 games this season, Howard has averaged 6.8 points, 8.3 rebounds and 20.1 FanDuel points.
