Well, for Dinwiddie, the bikes symbolize something greater and more meaningful.</p><p>“It’s funny, my Dad actually skied and rode bikes,” Dinwiddie said. “Obviously these are a little bit more leisure bikes than the competitive ones that he did, but I just thought it was a good little call back to my Dad.”</p><p>Nick Titus of Raising Cane’s was excited for Dinwiddie to partner with the company in order to spread holiday cheer. Raising Cane’s consistently looks for ways to make an impact in communities around the country, and they enjoy doing it with the help of the Mavericks.</p><p>“It’s always great to work with the Dallas Mavericks,” Titus said. “To have Spencer here to bring some attention to this really cool event that we’ve been doing for a few years now, we’re just honored to be here and be apart of it and to be able to make a difference in the community. It’s great to have him here with us.”</p><p>Sunday’s event was impressive to say the least, as Raising Cane’s filled an entire gym with 100 bikes.

The veteran point guard <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X51DgBrQIsY" rel="noopener">told his side of the story this week</a>, accusing the team of pressuring him into a pass-first role to boost their other players, then trading him and trashing his reputation.</p><p>“I understand Brooklyn was going to make the best decision they could for their organization,” Dinwiddie said on ex-Nets teammate Theo Pinson’s podcast. “To go back to a team that you spent five years, had a lot of success at, basically lead the league in assists because they asked you to kind of help feature their trade pieces and whatnot, and then basically [get] kicked out the door. And for them to re-bring up the cancer label because of what happened in D.C., if another team doubles down on that, it effectively kills your career.”</p><p>The Nets re-acquired Dinwiddie, who spent five successful seasons with the team from 2016-2021, from the Dallas Mavericks at the 2023 trade deadline in a package for Kyrie Irving.</p><h2>Spencer Dinwiddie rips Nets for messy exit after second stint with team</h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Spencer-Dinwiddie.jpg"><figcaption>John Jones-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>After re-joining Brooklyn, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nets-2022-23-player-grades-spencer-dinwiddie">he ranked fifth in the league in assists</a> at 9.1 per game over 26 appearances to close the 2022-23 season.</p><p>Mikal Bridges, who also joined the team at the 2023 deadline as the centerpiece of Brooklyn’s return for Kevin Durant, turned in a career-best stretch alongside Dinwiddie during that period. The Villanova product averaged a career-high 27.7 points per game on 47/38/89 shooting splits, a performance that led to speculation about whether he could be a top offensive option on a contender.</p><p>Dinwiddie said that helping feature Bridges and the Nets’ other trade acquisitions was his primary assignment. The 31-year-old appeared increasingly discontent with that role during the first half of 2023-24, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/grading-nets-raptors-trade-spencer-dinwiddie-dennis-schroder">culminating in a trade to the Toronto Raptors</a> for Dennis Schroder at the deadline, after which he was bought out. He claims Brooklyn attempted to sabotage his career following the deal by confirming locker room issues he had during his messy exit from the Washington Wizards.</p><p>“You took me from my [sons in Dallas], basically. And then you asked me to do a very specific task, and I did it. ‘We need to stay in the playoffs, and you need to help feature our trade pieces,’” Dinwiddie said of Brooklyn’s message. “Ok, I will do what you ask of me. And then the reward that they gave me was, we’re going to kick you out the door. And, not just that, we’re going to double down on some s**t that happened to you from three years ago. Because if we say it and it’s from three years ago, your career is over.</p><p>“So you can extrapolate and guess the conversations or anything else that happened, and blah, blah. And it’s not to get into all those details, whatever. But effectively, that’s what happened.”</p><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/lakers-news-spencer-dinwiddie-lakers-clearing-waivers">Dinwiddie signed with the Lakers</a> to close the 2023-24 season. After the disappointing campaign, he re-joined the Dallas Mavericks on a minimum contract this summer. He’s embraced a reserve role this season, averaging 7.8 points and 3.1 assists on 40/38/87 shooting splits in 21.4 minutes per game.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

I was like, maybe it’s a meniscus or something; if I shave it, I’ll be back in a couple of months,” Dinwiddie said. “You’ve got to remember I just came off of averaging 20, so now I’m like, alright, cool, I’m just going to be basically like the glue connecting piece for this team, we’re going to win a title, and I’m going to get a crazy bag from the standpoint of I can be a glue guy on a title team, or I can be an offensive juggernaut if you’re like okay or decent.</p><p>“I still got a good contract because obviously of what happened, but I had $100 million sitting in my hand; it was right there,” Dinwiddie concluded.</p><p>After averaging 20.6 points and 6.8 assists in 2019-20, Dinwiddie suffered a season-ending injury three games into the following campaign. Unbeknownst to him, he tore his ACL and eventually signed a three-year deal worth $55 million in 2021. At the end of that contract, Dinwiddie inked a one-year, $3.3 million deal with the Mavericks over the summer.</p><h2><b>Spencer Dinwiddie drops eye-opening Mavericks truth bomb</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Mavericks-guard-Kyrie-Irving.jpg"><figcaption>Darren Yamashita-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>After <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mavericks-news-luka-doncic-kyrie-irving-didnt-practice-tuesday">Mavericks stars Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving missed practice</a> on Tuesday, Spencer Dinwiddie could see an uptick in playing time against the Clippers.

While speaking to reporters after practice on Friday, Dinwiddie <a href="https://x.com/JoeyMistretta_/status/1862577083303551031" rel="noopener">spoke highly of the organization</a> and addressed his role with the team.</p><p>“One of the biggest credits to this organization is they do a phenomenal job of communicating,” Dinwiddie said. “Approaching it with the standpoint of like, ‘hey, this is a championship-caliber team. What can I do night in and night out to help us win’… that doesn’t always mean big scoring nights.”</p><h2><b>Spencer Dinwiddie doing everything he can to help Mavericks</b></h2><p>Dinwiddie, 31, is averaging 6.6 points per game on 39.3 percent field goal and 34.5 percent three-point shooting. He is also recording 2.6 assists and 1.6 rebounds per outing while averaging 19.5 minutes per game. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mavericks-news-jason-kidd-spencer-dinwiddie-role-change-preseason-injuries">Dinwiddie has seen an increase in playing time</a> in recent games due to the Mavericks’ injuries.</p><p>He is prepared to help the team in any role necessary.</p><p>“I think personnel, also the team were playing, what’s asked of me,” Dinwiddie explained. “There’s some nights where they’re like, let’s say for example we’re playing the Jazz, they’re like, ‘hey, you’re going to have to guard (Lauri) Markkanen.’ Okay, well I know that it’s one of those types of nights. Like be really locked into that, try not to give him any airspace. It also might mean I end up in foul trouble, so I might have less minutes but I gotta play those minutes in a certain style.</p><p>“It’s just reading the feedback from the coaches and then also the game itself… Lineups, and opponents and all that other stuff will, you know, change kind of who I am nightly.”</p><p>Dinwiddie’s numbers may not jump off the page. One of Dallas’ primary goals during the offseason was to add depth, though. Dinwiddie is prepared to help the Mavs in any way he can. His veteran prowess will only help matters as the 2024-25 NBA season moves forward.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Players such as Luka Doncic and <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mavericks-news-dallas-klay-thompson-pj-washington-injury-updates">PJ Washington could return soon</a>. However, guard <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mavericks-news-dante-exum-injury-update-surgery">Dante Exum is expected to miss around three months</a> after undergoing wrist surgery. Other players such as Maxi Kleber and Kessler Edwards are also battling injury concerns, and Mavs head coach Jason Kidd hinted at a potential Spencer Dinwiddie role change amid all of the uncertainty.</p><p>“I think just his leadership… role acceptance, being here before. Now it (Dinwiddie’s role) could change with health,” Kidd said after practice on Friday. “It would have changed, but now with some injuries his role could change… He can be a guy that comes off the bench to being a starter just because of health. But being a pro and being ready, those are the things that he can bring to the table.”</p><p>Dinwiddie has experience playing with the Mavs, as he last appeared in a game with the team during the 2022-23 season. He returned this offseason and is in a position to significantly impact the roster.</p><h2><b>Spencer Dinwiddie addresses his role with the Mavericks</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Spencer-Dinwiddie-dribbles-the-basketball-during-Jazz-Mavericks-preseason-game.jpg"><figcaption>Kevin Jairaj-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Dinwiddie <a href="https://x.com/JoeyMistretta_/status/1844809919943303635" rel="noopener">made it clear</a> that he is willing to do whatever it takes to help the team win.</p><p>“I mean… Obviously coming here with losing in the Finals, you want to win a championship,” Dinwiddie said Friday. “We understand there needs to be great fortune, good health, all that stuff. We got to have the right chemistry… so it’s not a sure-fire thing, but that is the overall goal. Anytime you’re a vet merging into a group like that, understanding, like, how many gaps I can fill in, it’s about the flexibility… You need me to be a 55-plus percent corner catch-and-three guy, well that’s what I’m going to put a lot of focus into.</p><p>“If we’re in a dry spell defensively and I need to pick up full court, I did some of that, too. If we’re talking about attacking the basket or making reads and passing or whatever… I think that’s kind of why they brought me back.”</p><p>Dinwiddie understands that he can offer versatility to the Mavs, a role he is seemingly willing to accept. He wants to help this team win a championship.</p><p>“It’s… I don’t want to say ace card because it’s not an ace card,” Dinwiddie continued, “but it’s just a card that you can kind of, in any facet of the game, you can kind of be like, ‘here you go.’ You know what I’m saying? So I think that’s what I’m looking forward to doing in the pursuit of winning a championship.”</p><p>Dinwiddie will play a pivotal role for the Mavericks as Dallas looks to win their first championship since 2011.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
