Is Dwight Howard really a QAnon believer?

Is Dwight Howard really a conspiracy theorist who believes in QAnon?
Dwight Howard’s buffoonish tendencies are well-known. From his legendary sweet tooth to his fascination with fart jokes, he’s often seen as a lovable man-child, waiting on maturity to strike. But yesterday, an eagle-eyed Twitter user noticed some not-so-lovable buffoonery from Howard. Apparently, Howard is following three separate Instagram accounts dedicated to the QAnon conspiracy.

What is the QAnon conspiracy Dwight Howard might be following?
The QAnon narrative is unbelievably disjointed but The Daily Beast has done a nice job of summarizing it in all its absurdity.
"Since Q’s “breadcrumbs” are so vague, it’s impossible to nail down exactly what the storyline is supposed to be. But the general story, outlined in a pro-QAnon video endorsed by Schilling, is that every president before Trump was a “criminal president” in league with all the nefarious groups of conspiracy theories past: the global banking elite, death squads operating on orders from Hillary Clinton, deep-state intelligence operatives, and Pizzagate-style pedophile rings. In an effort to break this cabal’s grip, according to Q, the military convinced Trump to run for president.Now Trump and his allies in the military are poised to arrest all these wrongdoers, shipping many of them off to Guantanamo Bay. That coming purge has been dubbed “The Storm” by QAnon fans, who claim Trump referenced it when he referenced “the calm before the storm” in October."
Maybe he’s just curious? A student of conspiracy theories in general? I mean, most people who watch documentaries on serial killers are watching out of horror, not a groupie-like obsession. But Howard also shared on Instagram Live that he doesn’t believe in vaccines and, frankly, he seems like the kind of guy who isn’t grounding his understanding of the world in science or documented facts.
This would all just be another quirk of his uber-quirky personality if the QAnon conspiracy theory wasn’t so indelibly linked with extreme political views and acts of violence.
