Former NBA All-Star, Wake standout Josh Howard takes big pay cut to make comeback in D-League

Posted Dec 6, 2013
It was less than four years ago that Josh Howard earned $10 million for the NBA season. He was playing for the Washington Wizards in the third season of a four-year, $40 million extension the Dallas Mavericks had given him. A former All-Star, the 2003 ACC Player of the Year at Wake Forest, and still just 30 years old, Howard appeared to have a handful of productive NBA seasons still ahead of him. (Yahoo! Sports)
