The Brooklyn Nets have dealt with a multitude of injuries this season, including setbacks to both Kyrie Irving and Caris LeVert. The former missed 26 straight games due to a shoulder injury while the latter sat for 24 consecutive matchups after undergoing thumb surgery.
In the midst of either absence emerged veteran guard Spencer Dinwiddie, who’s been a major bright spot for Brooklyn this season. Through 41 games, the 26-year-old is averaging 21.8 points and 6.4 assists on 42.1% shooting from the field.
The on-court success could actually lead to another opportunity for the sixth-year player.
