Lakers' Dwight Howard: Will rest Sunday

Howard (rest) will not play Sunday against Denver, Dave McMenamin of ESPN reports.

Howard will join Anthony Davis, LeBron James, Carmelo Anthony and Russell Westbrook in street clothes Sunday as the Lakers put a bow on one of the most disappointing seasons in NBA history. With the veteran big man out, Wenyen Gabriel will get the nod at center as the Lakers go with a small-ball look.
