After making the unlikely leap from NBA Developmental League player to signing an eight-figure NBA contract, Brooklyn Nets sixth man Spencer Dinwiddie is showing no signs of resting on his laurels.
Dinwiddie signed a three-year, $34.3 million extension on Dec. 14, a deal that includes a player option for the final year. That was six days after he became eligible for the deal following the anniversary of his signing with the Nets in December 2016.
The extension is Dinwiddie’s fourth NBA contract. In a league where first-round draft picks look to secure a big second deal, Dinwiddie had to travel a much longer and more difficult road.
