On Friday, there was speculation that Dinwiddie might try to play through the pain, but it was always more likely he would go for the surgery. The Nets have yet to provide details on the surgery, and almost certainly will not provide a timeframe for his return but typically, thumb ligament surgery means four to six weeks lost.
