The Charlotte Hornets have bolstered their backcourt by signing veteran guard Spencer Dinwiddie to a one-year deal, according to sources. Dinwiddie, known for his scoring and playmaking abilities, showcased his talents with the Dallas Mavericks last season, averaging 14.3 points and 6.2 assists as a starter. Despite a brief stint with the Mavericks, Dinwiddie made a significant impact as the team reached the Western Conference finals, highlighting his versatility and leadership on the court.
Entering his 12th NBA season, Dinwiddie brings a wealth of experience to the Hornets, having also suited up for the Pistons, Wizards, Lakers, and Nets throughout his career. His consistent performance, averaging 11 points, 4.4 assists, and 2.6 rebounds in 27 minutes per game last season, solidifies his reputation as a valuable asset in any team's rotation. With Dinwiddie's addition, the Hornets aim to strengthen their guard rotation and benefit from his proven track record of contributing positively to his teams' success on the court.
