Hornets Sign Spencer Dinwiddie to Join Crowded Backcourt

In a move that’s raising eyebrows across the league and sparking buzz in Buzz City, the Charlotte Hornets have signed veteran guard Spencer Dinwiddie to a one-year deal, per ESPN’s Shams Charania.

For a team coming off a 19–63 season and mired in an eight-year playoff drought, the addition of Dinwiddie offers more than just on-court production, it injects leadership, and versatility into a guard-heavy roster already brimming with question marks.

Dinwiddie, 31, averaged 11.0 points, 4.4 assists, and 2.6 rebounds in 79 games for the Dallas Mavericks last season. While his scoring dipped from prior years, he started 30 contests and showed flashes of the playmaking ability that made him a pivotal piece in the Mavs’ 2022 Western Conference Finals run.
