The other night, before the first Miami game at Barclays Center, Alex Schiffer of The Athletic tweeted out what might be, could be a positive sign for all the fans who are hoping for a Spencer Dinwiddie return this season.
The same month he underwent surgery for a partial tear of the ACL in his right knee, there he was, shooting three’s, dribbling the ball. That same day, Dinwiddie posted his own video of him rehabbing.
Note the title “Post DPE,” a reference to the NBA decision to grant the Nets a Disabled Player Exception for Dinwiddie the day before. The DPE means that the league medical office believes it’s likely Dinwiddie won’t return to action this season. It doesn’t mean Dinwiddie can’t return. And if he does return, it doesn’t mean the Nets would have to hand the DPE back. They have $5.7 million to play with in trades, free

The Brooklyn Nets have been granted a $5.7 million Disabled Player Exception due to the loss of guard Spencer Dinwiddie to a partial ACL tear, The Athletic reported.
Dinwiddie, 27, played in just three games and is not expected to return this season.
The Nets can use the exception in a trade or signing to add depth to complement their big three of Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving and the recently acquired James Harden.
Dinwiddie has averaged 14.3 points and 5.3 assists in five seasons with the Nets. He spent his first two seasons in Detroit after the Pistons took him in the second round of the 2014 NBA Draft.
