Brooklyn Nets vowed last week that they will field a team in Orlando, but it appears this will be a surprisingly tough task. On Tuesday, Nets found out that guard Spencer Dinwiddie will be among the players to miss the NBA season restart, as he continues to be positive for coronavirus.

Dinwiddie was first diagnosed with the virus in late June but intended to join the team if his condition gets better. However, after the most recent test came back positive, the 27-year-old and Nets’ doctors decided that it would be best if he sits out the rest of 2019/20.

Dinwiddie confirmed his decision on social media, writing that he “will be supporting the guys every step of the way!”

Spencer Dinwiddie emerged as one of the Nets’ most valuable players this season, averaging 20.6 points per game. He was also adding 3.5 rebounds and 6.8 assists per game.

Before the NBA suspended the season, Nets already lost All-Stars Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving for the season due to injuries. Then, in recent weeks, the team’s starters Wilson Chandler and De’Andre Jordan decided not to take part in the NBA season restart due to health concerns.

Now, with Dinwiddie also out, Nets face an almost impossible task of playing meaningful basketball in the playoffs. They are currently sitting at No.7 in the East with 30-34 record, being scheduled to face the defending NBA champions Toronto Raptors in the first round.

Brooklyn Nets have signed their guard Spencer Dinwiddie to a three-year extension, the team announced on Thursday. The announcement came less than 24 hours after Dinwiddie scored 39 points to lead Nets to 127-124 win over Philadelphia 76ers.

Although the organization failed to disclose the financial terms of the agreement, ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski reports that Spencer Dinwiddie’s extension is worth $34 million. The deal will kick off in 2019-20120 and will pay the 25-year-old $10.6 million in the first year, $11.4 million in the second and $12.3 million in the third.

“The journey is just beginning.” – wrote Dinwiddie on social media after inking the deal. “I’m thankful that @brooklynnets believe in me enough to give me a home.”

After being drafted in the second round of the 2014 NBA Draft by the Detroit Pistons, Spencer Dinwiddie struggled to make a name for himself in the league. He only played 46 games in his first two years, while having multiple assignments in the G League.

In June 2016, Dinwiddie was traded to the Chicago Bull who waived and re-signed him a couple of times. Nets offered him a contract in December of the same year, and he ended up finally being able to show off his talents in Brooklyn.

This season, Dinwiddie has established himself as one of the Nets’ leaders, averaging 16.9 points, 4.9 assists, and 2.5 rebound per game.
