Video: Dwight Howard Sends Zion Williamson Flying With Dirty Forearm

The Philadelphia 76ers and the New Orleans Pelicans matched up on Friday night in a back and forth game that had a little bit of everything. This included Dwight Howard sending Zion Williamson flying with a dirty forearm shiver.

Howard may have been trying to slow Williamson down but it didn't work as the damage was already done. The youngster finished with the best game of his career knocking down 37 points, adding career highs with 15 boards and eight assists.
