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>

His performance was instrumental in the Mavericks’ run to the Western Conference Finals during the 2021-22 season, which ended in a sweep by the Golden State Warriors.</p><p>Dinwiddie spent the past season with the Brooklyn Nets before being waived and subsequently signing with the Los Angeles Lakers. Throughout the season with both teams, he averaged 10.5 points, 2.7 rebounds, and 4.7 assists per game, shooting 39.2 percent from the field.

I’m likewise told that Dinwiddie has maintained property in the Dallas area since he was traded to Brooklyn in the Kyrie Irving deal in February 2023 and has interest in a return,” wrote Stein.</p><p>After being bought out by the Toronto Raptors, Spencer Dinwiddie contemplated returning to the Dallas Mavericks, where he had previously played. Although Dinwiddie decided to finish the season with his hometown Los Angeles Lakers, he may still rejoin the Mavs for the upcoming season.</p><h2><b>Spencer Dinwiddie will be a solid addition to the Dallas Mavericks backcourt</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/Spencer-Dinwiddie-with-Dallas.jpg"><figcaption>Jerome Miron-USA TODAY Sports</figcaption></figure><p>After Luka Dončić and Kyrie Irving led the Dallas Mavericks to the NBA Finals, their inability to find additional shot-making and playmaking proved costly against the Boston Celtics. To address these issues, GM Nico Harrison <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mavericks-klay-thompson-kyrie-irving-mvp-2024-25">signed Klay Thompson and brought</a> in Naji Marshall and Quentin Grimes.</p><p>Dinwiddie previously played for Dallas over parts of two seasons from 2022 to 2023, averaging 17.1 points, 3.1 rebounds, and 4.9 assists per game during his time with the team.</p><p>Last season, Dinwiddie divided his time between the Brooklyn Nets and the Los Angeles Lakers, averaging 10.5 points, 2.7 rebounds, and 4.7 assists per game.</p><p>A return to Dallas could be beneficial for both parties.

During his two seasons with Dallas, he averaged 14.5 points, 3.5 rebounds, and 4.9 assists per game.</p><p>Horton-Tucker, unlike the other candidates, has never played for the Mavericks. Over his three years with the LA Lakers and his recent stint with the Utah Jazz, he has developed into a reliable scorer, averaging 10 points per game over the past two seasons.</p><p>As the Mavericks consider their choices, they must balance immediate impact against long-term potential. Dinwiddie’s established performance and prior experience with the team make him a strong candidate for an immediate role. His skills in shooting and playmaking align well with the Mavericks’ offensive needs and would <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mavericks-news-klay-thompson-reacts-kyrie-irving-luka-doncic">enhance the Doncic-Irving duo</a>.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

This squad has managed to win seven out of their last 10 games with some of them not even featuring both Anthony Davis and LeBron James. They just got off a massive win over the Memphis Grizzlies and hope to continue that momentum into the last game of the season. A main goal that everyone on Darvin Ham’s squad shares is to win the Larry O’Brien trophy and Spencer Dinwiddie might just know how.</p><p>Every team has a win condition to fulfill before they enter every game. Plays are run through these individuals because they are the ones capable of filling the stat sheet while also netting the squad some entries in the win column. Superstars are likely the ones able to get these roles which means <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/lakers-news-lebron-james-anthony-davis-injury-update-vs-pacers">the duo out of the Lakers system</a> is no exception.</p><p>Coach Darvin Ham has been using LeBron James and Anthony Davis well in these past couple of games. All of this makes Spencer Dinwiddie think that the Lakers have unlocked their <a href="https://link.chtbl.com/PointGame2">path to victory</a>, via Point Game with John Wall and CJ Toledano.</p><p>“I think for us to win a championship, 3-through-15 has to just be fine with whatever, you know what I’m saying? Completely focused, locked in, understand game-to-game changes, not have too many self-expectations in a sense. Like you can’t go into a game and be like, ‘Damn if I don’t get 20 it’s a bad game,'” he declared.</p><h2><b>Lakers’ road to a new banner</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Los-Angeles-Lakers-guard-Spencer-Dinwiddie-26-reacts-during-the-second-half-against-the-Memphis-Grizzlies-at-FedExForum.jpg"><figcaption>© Petre Thomas-USA TODAY Sports</figcaption></figure><p>Spencer Dinwiddie may have a point here. There is no clear-cut<a href="https://clutchpoints.com/lakers-news-lebron-james-anthony-davis-health-injury-los-angeles"> third star in the Lakers system</a> that might pop off consistently every night. Austin Reaves, D’Angelo Russell, Taurean Prince, and Jaxson Hayes among others are able to produce big numbers but they are not as grand as LeBron James and Anthony Davis. In their win against the Grizzlies, it was Rui Hachimura who blazed up while others took on different roles on both sides of the floor.</p><p>The Lakers may have to adopt the mindset that Dinwiddie is proposing if there’s no constant third star who can consistently churn out high production.</p><p>“You gotta just go into it and be like, ‘Okay, what’s the gameplan?’ Locked in, defensive mentality, and then just hoop from there. Because the two juggernauts gonna do what they do, you feel me? But 3-through-15 has to be sacrificial in the mindset of like, ‘What does the team need?” the Lakers guard said.</p><p>Clearly, the duo are the stars of the show whenever the Lakers rush out of their locker rooms. So, they will need a supporting cast that is able to do the dirty work in terms of rebounding, hustle plays, setting proper screens, and executing well. If they do hit an insanely good offensive stretch, they might get the ball and run the offense for a while as Davis and James avoid fatigue.</p><p>Nothing is certain in the Lakers system. Hopefully, they can carry this mindset and momentum into a successful postseason run.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
