Spencer Dinwiddie says he’s ‘got some great news’

Spencer Dinwiddie is sending another clue about a possible return to the court.

The Spencer Dinwiddie saga continues. On Sunday, he posted on his Instagram a video of himself involved in really intense workouts. He seemed mobile, agile and overall ready to return to the court. In fact, Dinwiddie is looking to be in even better shape than when he last played for Brooklyn.

On that same post, the Nets guard wrote he “got some great news today,” but didn’t explain what that meant. Whatever it is that Spencer Dinwiddie is talking about or foreshadowing, it’s a good sign for his health and the Brooklyn Nets.

Steve Nash cleared the air a couple of weeks ago, saying he does not expect the 28-year-old to return to the court this season. But can that change? And if so, what else could this caption be hinting at.

Keep in mind, Dinwiddie is averaging 6.7 PPG and 3 APG this season for Brooklyn. Last year, he averaged 20.6 PPG and 6.8 APG on 42% shooting.

Spencer Dinwiddie is rehabbing with NFL Hall of Famer Terrell Owens

Spencer Dinwiddie is rehabbing in Los Angeles with NFL Hall of Famer Terrell Owens.

Nets guard Spencer Dinwiddie is making progress toward returning to the court each day, and he’s even teased a potential return just in time to help Brooklyn in the playoffs. . His rehabs are beginning to get more intense now since he is closer to reaching that point.

On Sunday, Dinwiddie was found completing some of his rehab work in Los Angeles with NFL Hall of Famer Terrell Owens:

As you can see in the video, the 28-year-old’s knee is holding up very well as he balances on a balance bubble. There’s no doubt that he is trying his hardest to make a possible return to the court this season despite there not being a great chance when he originally suffered the injury.

Dinwiddie put in the work to change his fortunes, and is now “ahead of schedule” as coach Steve Nash puts it in regards to his rehab.

Spencer Dinwiddie teases possible return in cryptic tweet

Spencer Dinwiddie teases at a possible return in six weeks time.

Spencer Dinwiddie partially tore his ACL during a game against the Charlotte Hornets back in December. It was determined that he would miss the remainder of the season, but Steve Nash hinted that his rehab process is “ahead of schedule” a couple of days ago.

Dinwiddie has been at the voice of Nets Nation in his time in Brooklyn for quite some time and many of his “executive” moves are made on Twitter. Whether it’s arguing with Knicks fans or just interacting with Nets fans, Dinwiddie’s presence is always felt.

At around 3:00 AM Eastern Time on Tuesday, the Brooklyn Nets guard posted this on Twitter:

This is a Floyd Mayweather video that sends this message: “Just give me 6 weeks and I’m ready.” Is Dinwiddie referring to his own return? Or is he talking about something else? Could he just be bluffing. At the end of the day, it seems like we’re going to find out anyway soon.

Before getting injured, Spencer Dinwiddie was averaging 6.7 PPG, 4.3 RPG, and 3 APG in about 21 MPG.

Spencer Dinwiddie hearing NBA “bubble site” games will start July 15

Brooklyn Nets guard Spencer Dinwiddie is hearing that the NBA will resume on July 15th in a “bubble site”.

The NBA has been inching its way toward a comeback for some time, and now the league seems to have a date for a return in sight.

July 15 appears to be the target date for the continuation of the 2019-20 season.

Though it wasn’t ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski or The Athletic’s Shams Charania who broke this bit of news. It was actually Brooklyn Nets point guard Spencer Dinwiddie, who did so after John Geiger tweeted the league would be back in action on June 21.

Dinwiddie set the record straight, stating June 21 is when practices will resume. But games will not begin until mid-July — and they will take place at a bubble site. The location of the site is still unknown, though reports indicate Disney World is the favorite at this stage.

Joe Harris ready to represent Brooklyn at NBA All-Star Weekend

The Nets won’t have any players in the 2020 NBA All-Star Game, but they will be well-represented throughout the festivities in Chicago.

While most of the Brooklyn Nets can start to recharge their batteries with their pre-NBA All-Star break schedule completed, Joe Harris and Spencer Dinwiddie still have some work ahead of them.

Although it was initially expected Dinwiddie would not receive an invite to participate in the Skills Challenge, the Nets point guard was given the opportunity and accepted. He won the crown in 2018 and will have the chance to take it back from the reigning champ, Boston Celtics wing Jayson Tatum.

Harris, meanwhile, has to fight to retain his title as the 3-Point Contest champion. But he told YES Network following Wednesday’s win that he’s ready to represent his team and his city:

I’m excited to go and represent Brooklyn. Obviously, anytime I can get out to All-Star Weekend its an opportunity I can’t pass up. So, I’m looking forward to it.

The NBA All-Star Saturday Night festivities kick off at 8 p.m. The Skills Challenge will be the first event.
