Los Angeles Lakers center Dwight Howard believes people should focus on the tragic death of Breonna Taylor at the hands of policemen instead of worrying about his maskless incident at Disney World.
Howard went on IG live earlier in the week and revealed that someone used the snitch hotline on him when he wasn't wearing his mask.
During his latest conference call with Lakers reporters, Howard told his critics and the media that Taylor's murderers still haven't been arrested. The center exclaimed that it should be the topic of conversations.
#Lakers' Dwight Howard thinks "instead of worrying about if I have my mask on" that we should talking about Breonna Taylor and the police involved her death and "why haven't these people been brought in?…charged or arrested"

Taylor, an emergency medical technician, was fatally shot eight times while in her home by the Louisville Metro Police Department. The white police officers who killed Taylor haven't been charged.
Howard and the Lakers have the best record in the Western Conference standings. The eight-time All-Star was able to rejuvenate his career in 2019-20 by averaging 7.5 points and 7.4 rebounds in 19.2 minutes per contest before games were suspended in March.
For the club to ultimately win the championship, the Lakers will need Howard to play at a high level in the 2020 playoffs as JaVale McGee's backup.
For the eight seeing games, the Purple and Gold will face the Los Angeles Clippers, Toronto Raptors, Utah Jazz, Oklahoma City Thunder, Houston Rockets, Indiana Pacers, Denver Nuggets and Sacramento Kings. Most NBA observers believe the Lakers and Clippers will meet in the Western Conference Finals.
