Dwight Howard Retires As His And Amy Luciani’s 911 Calls Surface |

Roommates, sometimes the biggest headlines come when you least expect them. That’s exactly what’s happening with Dwight Howard right now. The former NBA superstar recently popped out with a message that quickly got fans talking. But while Dwight was making a major announcement about his career, his name has also been tied to some serious personal drama involving his wife, Amy Luciani. And let’s just say…the details coming out from both sides have definitely raised a few eyebrows.

Dwight Officially Retires From Basketball

Although Dwight Howard hasn’t played an NBA game since 2022, he never actually announced his retirement—until now. He woke up on March 12 and shared a lengthy message on X revealing he’s officially stepping away from the game after 20 years.

In the emotional post, Dwight said he’s “taking off the cape” and retiring from basketball to focus on family and giving back. While he acknowledged people might’ve thought he had already retired, he made it clear that wasn’t the case. Dwight shared that the game essentially “retired” him despite believing he still had more left to give. He also hinted at a documentary dropping later this year where he says he plans to tell the “truth about EVERYTHING.“

Woke up today on the 12th of this month and I figured it’s time to move on from Superman! Im no super human… I cry ! I struggle! I feel like everyone else. Through the lies, the media and the hate I still show love and Smile Through The Storm.

Dwight Reportedly Calls 911 On Amy

But while Dwight was making headlines for his retirement, his personal life also surfaced in the spotlight. According to newly surfaced 911 audio, Dwight Howard contacted authorities on March 7 claiming his wife left their Georgia mansion with several of his personal items. During the call, Dwight told dispatch that a woman—allegedly his wife—had taken off in a gray Camaro. He also claimed she took his valuables including jewelry, wedding ring, and phone.

Authorities reportedly told him an officer would follow up so he could file a report. However, the timing raised eyebrows, as the alleged incident happened just two days before Dwight filed for divorce on March 9. Around the time the divorce filing became public, Amy Luciani took to Instagram with allegations against Dwight. She has accused him of drug use—which he has since denied—and made abuse claims tied to their relationship and family situation.

Amy’s 911 Call Paints A Different Picture

Meanwhile, audio from a separate 911 call made by Amy Howard a day earlier is also circulating—and it tells a very different story. In the March 6 call, Amy claimed Dwight locked her out of their Georgia mansion during an argument, leaving her stuck outside in the rain. Additionally, Amy told the dispatcher she had to walk through the woods and force her way through a side gate to get back onto the property. She also identified her husband during the call as “Dwight Howard from the Lakers.”

Furthermore, Amy mentioned that the home contains a large number of weapons. She claimed that there are “over a thousand” stored in what she described as a gun room on the property. Lastly, she can be heard sharing frustration about being forced to sleep in her car during disputes, saying she couldn’t keep dealing with the situation.
