Dinwiddie and Russell likely to start together when DLo returns

What will happen to Spencer Dinwiddie’s role when D’Angelo Russell returns?

Nothing.

According to Nets beat writers, Kenny Atkinson said he’s likely to pair Dinwiddie with Russell in the backcourt with both the 1 and 2 positions seen as interchangeable.

Kenny Atkinson on prospect of playing Russell & Dinwiddie together in the #Nets backcourt: “I’m comfortable with that…We’ll make the decision when it presents itself, but I’m comfortable with it.”

@BrooklynNets coach Kenny Atkinson said @Dloading will be phased in gradually but no timeline for when that happens.
