In the final game of that series, Howard scored 18 points, grabbed 16 rebounds and blocked four shots and played 42 minutes in the Rockets' 104-90 loss to the Warriors.
While Howard is reportedly healthy entering the NBA season, Rockets head coach Kevin McHale has said that he will monitor his star center's playing time this year.
