Spencer Dinwiddie progressing in recovery, playoff return is 'realistic'

Spencer Dinwiddie says his ACL injury recovery process has been smooth, and also hinted at an uncertain but possible playoff return for the Brooklyn Nets.

"Ohh, that's a tough one," he said. "Recovery's going great...The ramp-up to be able to play in a playoff atmosphere is realistic."

ANALYSIS: Dinwiddie played just three games this season before suffering the injury, which initially was assumed to sideline the Nets guard for the entire season.

The 28-year-old would add a serious scoring punch to Brooklyn's rotation should he return for the playoffs.

Dinwiddie averaged 20.6 points and 6.8 assists per game with the Nets in 2019-20.
