Howard has already missed four of the last six games with back spasms. With the injury lingering as long as it already has, there could be concern about Howard's effectiveness come playoff time.

The party part of this tweet is a little curious. There are not many details of it right now but it doesn't look good on Howard if he's going to host a party rather than get healthy and ready for the playoffs.
