In just 14 months, the Nets’ Spencer Dinwiddie has gone from toiling in the G-League to a homecoming at NBA All-Star Weekend in Los Angeles.
The 24-year-old point guard won’t play in the All-Star Game itself, but he has been selected to participate in the Skills Challenge as part of All-Star Weekend from Feb. 16-18 at Staples Center. It will be a special homecoming for Dinwiddie, who is from Woodland Hills, Calif.
“It’s a great honor to be able to go there and participate and represent the Nets organization and all the hard work they invested in me,” said Dinwiddie, who scored 23 points, grabbed seven rebounds and handed out nine assists in a 102-99 loss to the Lakers on Friday at Barclays Center.
