According to Shams Charania of The Athletic and Stadium, the Brooklyn Nets are going to bring Spencer Dinwiddie off the bench on Saturday against the Detroit Pistons.
Dinwiddie, 26, has started the last 32 games of the season, but that was due in large part to Kyrie Irving‘s extended absence. Although Dinwiddie played the best basketball of his career while Irving was out, head coach Kenny Atkinson seems to feel like the Nets are better off moving the Colorado product back to the bench.
The outspoken lead guard thrives as a sixth man so this lineup change shouldn’t be seen as a demotion.
