Lakers' Howard says he was reported for not wearing mask

Los Angeles Lakers center Dwight Howard says he found himself on the wrong end of the NBA's campus "snitch" hotline this week when someone reported him for not wearing a mask inside the bubble at Walt Disney World.

"Somebody told on me," Howard said Wednesday on Instagram. "I ain't have my mask on when I was walking outside by myself."

Richaun Holmes and Bruno Caboclo have already felt the impact of the league's strict bubble protocols since teams arrived in Orlando, with both players forced into additional quarantine - in Holmes' case because he left the grounds to get food.

Howard, 34, doesn't appear to be facing any serious disciplinary action after failing to mask up.

"(My) reaction is that we all should be wearing masks in and around the hotel lobby," Lakers head coach Frank Vogel said of the issue Friday, according to ESPN's Dave McMenamin. "And the areas that we're being asked to wear a mask, we should wear a mask. And (Howard's) doing so now."
