Howard has signed with a team in Spain, Keith Smith of Spotrac.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Howard had sporadic playing time with the Nuggets over the last two seasons and wasn't extended a qualifying offer during the offseason. He averaged 3.4 points in 5.6 minutes per game in the NBA over the last two seasons and will elect to head overseas for the 2022-23 season.

Howard wasn't extended a qualifying offer by the Jazz on Thursday and became an unrestricted free agent, Vinny Benedetto of The Denver Gazette reports.

EDGE Analysis

Howard has spent the past two seasons with the Nuggets seeing limited action. Last year, he averaged 4.1 points in 5.7 minutes across 31 appearances. He might garner interest from rebuilding teams as a development option.

Howard provided 25 points (8-17 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 7-8 FT), three rebounds, one assist and one steal across 24 minutes during Sunday's 146-141 overtime loss to the Lakers.

EDGE Analysis

Howard had plenty of explosive scoring games during his days at Marquette, but he's struggled to find a consistent rotation spot with the Nuggets. He carved out a larger role last season after Jamal Murray went down, but Howard has played double-digit minutes only six times in 2021-22.

Howard racked up nine points (3-4 FG, 3-3 3Pt) and one steal in three minutes during Sunday's 136-100 win over Milwaukee.

EDGE Analysis

Howard continued the scoring barrage with the Nuggets dominating throughout the fourth quarter. The Marquette product is a microwave three-point shooter and has boomed on occasion at the NBA level. That being said, he should still be regarded as merely a fourth-string point guard.

Howard (illness) is listed as available for Tuesday's game against the Pistons.

EDGE Analysis

An illness sidelined Howard for the Nuggets' previous game, but he'll be available should coach Michael Malone need him. Howard has appeared in only one of Denver's last 16 contests.

Howard (illness) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's contest against the Pistons, Mike Singer of The Denver Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Howard missed the first matchup with Detroit on Sunday due to a non-COVID illness, but he has a chance to return for the rematch Tuesday. He's made only one appearance since mid-December, so his status isn't expected to impact the Nuggets' rotations.

Howard (illness) is out Sunday against the Pistons, Harrison Wind of TheDNVR.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Howard is dealing with a non-COVID illness and will be unavailable for at least one game. His absence won't impact the Nuggets' rotation.

Howard (illness) is questionable for Sunday's contest against the Pistons, Harrison Wind of TheDNVR.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Howard was a late addition to the injury report with a non-COVID illness. However, his potential absence shouldn't impact Denver's rotation, as he's made just one appearance since mid-December.

Howard rejoined the Nuggets for practice Tuesday after he was recalled from the G League's Grand Rapids Gold, Mike Singer of The Denver Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Howard has made 17 appearances for the Nuggets this season and is averaging 4.2 points across 6.9 minutes during those games. Other than Jamal Murray (knee), the Nuggets' backcourt is starting to look full again as Austin Rivers (illness) is practicing and expected to return to action soon, so barring a blowout, Howard is unlikely to crack the rotation.

Howard recorded 14 points (4-14 FG, 3-11 3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), seven rebounds and two assists across 28 minutes Sunday in the G League Grand Rapids Gold's 115-111 loss to the Delaware Blue Coats.

EDGE Analysis

Denver assigned the two-way player to the Gold after he made his return from a near-one-month absence due to a sprained left knee in the Nuggets' 140-108 win over the Trail Blazers on Thursday. Though Howard is seemingly healthy now, the Nuggets didn't have a spot available for him in the rotation, so the second-year player looks like he'll pick up some extended run in the G League. While he shot inefficiently Sunday, Howard should remain a go-to scorer fo the Gold so long as he sticks with the affiliate.
