After Miami Heat’s Jimmy Butler, it is the Los Angeles Lakers’ turn now. Recently, when the Lakers’ center Dwight Howard went live on Instagram, he revealed that someone had snitched on him for not wearing his face mask, to cover his mouth and nose. On the IG Live, Howard said,
“Somebody told on me. I’m around nobody. Am I supposed to wear a mask?”
Heavy.com‘s Brandon Robinson reported that the authorities gave Dwight a warning.

Even though he says someone snitched on him, it’s not like Howard has been hiding the fact that he isn’t wearing a mask, as he didn’t deny doing so on the Live. Instead, he questioned whether he is supposed to wear one when he is around no one.

Moreover, he has also posted videos of himself roaming around the bubble without his mask on. He even went to a pool party where he was all alone with the staff. He didn’t seem to be wearing a mask there either.

So, there’s a possibility that the 34-year-old Laker actually snitched on himself, way before anyone contacted the authorities through the hotline. There’s also the possibility that no one did, and the authorities watched Dwight’s videos and realized he was violating the rules.
Let’s just hope that for the sake of his peers, Dwight will take this constructively and use a mask to take care of everyone’s safety, including his own.
