Spencer Dinwiddie is coming off a season where he did not appear in an NBA game.
The former Colorado star had a brief stint overseas.
Dinwiddie last played in the NBA during the 2024-25 season as a member of the Dallas Mavericks.
He finished that year with averages of 11.0 points, 2.6 rebounds and 4.4 assists per contest while shooting 41.6% from the field and 33.4% from three-point range in 79 games (30 starts).

It’s worth noting that as of July 20, Dinwiddie is still a free agent who is available to sign with any team in the NBA.
He could be a good option for a team in need of guard depth.
ESPN’s Shams Charania had written (on October 16, 2025): “The Charlotte Hornets are waiving guard Spencer Dinwiddie, sources tell ESPN. Dinwiddie, an 11-year NBA veteran, signed a one-year deal with the Hornets in July free agency. Charlotte had to release a guaranteed salary ahead of season opener next week.”
