Brooklyn Nets rumors: Spencer Dinwiddie may need surgery on right thumb

The battered Brooklyn Nets may be on the verge of taking another major injury hit, amid reports that sixth man Spencer Dinwiddie may require surgery on an injured right thumb.

Former Detroit Pistons teammate Caron Butler, now co-host of Fox Sports Radio’s Chris & Caron Show with Chris Mannix, tweeted on Thursday that Dinwiddie had injured a “finger” and was being evaluated by specialists to determine a course of action.

Dinwiddie and Butler played together with the Pistons in 2014-15, Dinwiddie’s rookie season in the NBA.

The report was later confirmed by Shams Charania of The Athletic and Stadium.
