The Brooklyn Nets announced Friday that point guard Spencer Dinwiddie will not play Friday when the Nets host the New York Knicks at Barclays Center as he is being evaluated to determine his treatment options.
Dinwiddie has torn ligaments in his right thumb and the team is consulting with doctors to determine whether or not the fifth-year guard will need surgery to repair the damage.
Dinwiddie apparently aggravated the injury in Wednesday night’s win over the Orlando Magic when he landed on his right hand after absorbing a foul from Orlando defender Jonathon Simmons.
