Spencer Dinwiddie did not find a lot of success with the Detroit Pistons (the team that drafted him in 2014) but after they released him the Brooklyn Nets signed him where he has elevated his game in the two seasons he has played there. Starting 58 of 80 Games in 2017/18, the Point Guard would average 12.8 Points per Game, but in more of a bench role in 2018-19 he actually increased his production to 16.8 PPG.
Dinwiddie saw Kyrie Irving with the Nets, meaning that his playing time would be reduced, but Kyrie's injuries saw Dinwiddie hit career-highs in PPG (20.6). Even with Kyrie and the talent improved Nets, Dinwiddie was expected to have significant minutes for Brooklyn, but after four Games, a torn ACL ended that.
Dinwiddie would be traded to Washinginton in the 2021 off-season, ending what turned out to be his first run in Brooklyn. He came back as part of the trade that sent Irving to Dallas late in the 2022/23 Season.
