The Brooklyn Nets have lost yet another player — their seventh — ahead of the NBA’s restart of the 2019-20 season.
Spencer Dinwiddie became No. 6, joining Kevin Durant (right Achillies), Kyrie Irving (right shoulder), Nic Claxton (left shoulder), Wilson Chandler (elected to opt-out) and DeAndre Jordan (elected to opt-out after testing positive for COVID-19), when he tested positive for COVID-19 again, and the Nets, team doctors and the point guard decided on Tuesday it wasn’t best for him to forgo part in the Disney bubble.
But Dinwiddie is not the latest member of the Nets to be sidelined.
Brooklyn will now be without Taurean Prince, as well. According to ESPN‘s Adrian Wojnarowski, Prince has tested positive for the novel coronavirus. As a result, the Nets forward has been ruled out of the NBA’s restart.
Prince was 'declared out' of Orlando because the late-timing of his positive test put his build-up back to basketball in jeopardy; in his case, it is not an 'opt out.' https://t.co/4qiwDZyCD7
