The Los Angeles Lakers have targeted Sunday’s preseason game against the Sacramento Kings for Dwight Howard to make his debut, several sources told Yahoo! Sports on Thursday night.

Barring any complications with Howard’s back over the next couple days, the Lakers are optimistic the All-Star center will make their first appearance for them on Sunday.

“He is making progress,” one Lakers source told Yahoo! Sports. “There is a good chance he can play Sunday.”
