Spencer Dinwiddie starts his rehab from ACL reconstruction surgery next week after undergoing a successful procedure on Monday. Typically, an ACL surgery is season-ending for a player, regardless of when they suffer the injury. The rehabilitation process is lengthy. But Spencer Dinwiddie has said before he’s not giving up on the idea of playing again in 2020-21.
“So now we’re here… a contact based partial ACL tear. No other structural damage, minimal swelling and cartilage in tact proving the years of work did their job and protected me,” Dinwiddie wrote on Instagram when he was first diagnosed with a partially torn ACL. “So in summary If anything I’m excited because I’ve made a living off beating the odds. And these odds say AT WORST I’ll be more than 100% by next season.
“Next question: Will I miss the road to a @brooklynnets 2021 championship My response: As we’ve seen before. Crazier things have happened.”
After the Nets deemed Dinwiddie’s surgery a success on Monday, Dinwiddie responded to the idea he’d miss a calendar year of basketball:
