was concern about the quick turnaround time. It sounded like Howard either may not have completely recovered from his most recent injury back in November (I think) or just needs more recovery time due to his age. According to the announcer, Arena did make a reference to his injury and FS1 showed a quick highlight of Howard injuring himself. Then a few moments later I think one of the announcer made a reference to his age and needed more time to recover between games, but it is unclear whether Arena was indirectly referencing that too when he referenced the injury.
