After another positive test yesterday and considering the symptoms, @BrooklynNets, team doctors and I have decided that it would be in the best interest for me and the team that I do not play in Orlando. I will be supporting the guys every step of the way! #AudienceOfOne — Spencer Dinwiddie (@SDinwiddie_25)

Losing Dinwiddie leaves a big void in the Already Short Roster of the Nets, where he is the second-best scorer with an average this season of 20.6 points per game. Dinwiddie, 27, took the place of Irving, the team’s top scorer, who played only 20 games due to the problems he had with injuries. While Dinwiddie played 64 games and was also the team leader in the assists section with an average of 6.8.

Last week, his teammate, the head-on DeAndre Jordan, also tested positive for the coronavirus and decided not to be with the Nets either in Orlando’s “bubble,” where on July 30 he is expected to resume the regular season. The Nets plan to arrive in Orlando on Tuesday as one of 22 NBA teams to compete in the league title fight.
