He might be waived and go to the Toros then but if he plays halfway decent there, don't be surprised to see them call him back up.
Yes, it would be surprising if he suited up considering they're only helping him rehab. Expect Howard to be waived soon.

I read the OP. The Spurs aren't going to sign a guy like Howard to a non-guaranteed contract, release him, and have him sign with the Toros if they weren't at least considering bringing him up at some point. RC might as well hold open auditions at the AT&T center for anyone interested in playing backup SF for the Spurs this year ( just bring photo ID) as if RC hasn't already made a mess of this off season. What could the Spurs see in a 33 year old has been, who hasn't played in more than 43 games since his first knee surgery? This is the best they could do? Apparently, Houston wasn't interested in his services after camp and RC's always the first in line for sloppy seconds. What a travesty of an off season.
I won't hold my breath for any of those things to happen except for him to be waived.
Why would the Spurs care about Howard's rehabilitation. They're not running a free clinic.
Maggette had 8 free throws against the Suns. I still think he has the ability. He just had a horrible game in Denver on the second night of a back to back. I would much rather have Maggette or TMAC.
I don't know...Signing Howard ( a guy they like for whatever reason) just to help him rehab and restart his NBA career seems like exactly the kind of thing the Spurs would do.
Like you said, perhaps down the road they might consider him if his rehab goes well. The chances of that happening is slim to none though..in my opinion.
When he played for the Mavs, I had his phone number and would prank call him all the time.
Full Circle....
Could that be why his contract is not guaranteed? Seems to me that if they really wanted him then at least part of his contract would be guaranteed.
I just wish they had done the same for a much younger player like Nunnally.
They have no obligation to Howard and have no history of signing vets strictly to play for the Toros.
They're doing it to take a look at him to gauge whether he has anything left, if so, they'll call him up.
Why sign him just to waive him and send him to the Toros then? Couldn't they just keep him here to check him out if he was actually capable of playing right now?
He's only really recently been cleared for 5 on 5. He surely needs to rehab and get into basketball shape. Maybe they don't want to pay him NBA wages to do so. Having him rehab on a d-league contract is MUCH cheaper, even for a short term rehab.
And Josh Howard might stay less than a day with Spurs. The deadline to cut him for free is Saturday 5pm ET. After that, it will cost about $5,200 by day to keep Howard.
Dont fret. Er ting gonna be alright. Pafto are doing their due diligence. Just searching in the scrap pile. They are starting to remind me of the show american pickers with this backup sf search. Looking in old barns to try and find a hidden antique treasure. Im gonna be shooting ball this weekend at a park court and rc and pop are gonna come rolling into the parking lot in a rape van drunk on wine trying to give me an tryout. Lol. Im high. So imagination is in overdrive
PATFO gets everyone I ask for about 7 years after I ask for them.
This guy is foolish, probably unable to put the weed down and is DONE. WTF?
The ting is da herb is not his problem. He is his problem.
I and i knows timmy gets high. Its not a problem for the greatestpf of all time.
hope its just a d-league thing. either way, still better than Tmac
Pafto should search all the crackhouses in america to see if richard dumas still has game. He was a promising young prospect in the 90's but the cocaine ruined it. His legs could be fresh due to low mileage
Solid signing... gonna have to up the offseason grade from B+ to A-, tbh...
If his knees prove to be much improved over the last three seasons then it pays dividends. If not then no biggie and on to the next prospect. Not a bad signing. Nothing to lose and a solid pobackup as a potentiaal reward.. Me too!
Nono wouldn't care if the Spurs signed Mr. Hanky.
The fact that they're shuffling through these guys, like they are, is a bit alarming..seems a bit desperate. Why is it so hard to find a backup Sf?
why do washed up mavericks always end up with the spurs?
