Former NBA star Dwight Howard's Dancing with the Stars journey came to an end on Tuesday night.

Howard and his dance partner Daniella Karagach made it to the competition's quarterfinals, one celebrating past dance routines in the show's history for its 500th episode, but couldn't advance to next week's semifinal round.

Three other athletes, former NFL wide receiver Danny Amendola and recent Team USA Olympians Ilona Maher and Stephen Nedoroscik, all advanced to the show's semifinals.

Howard, the former Orlando Magic and Houston Rockets standout, won an NBA title with the Los Angeles Lakers in 2020. He most recently played for the Taoyuan Taiwan Beer Leopards from 2022-2023.
