Nets’ Dinwiddie to have surgery for partially torn right ACL
Spencer Dinwiddie will have surgery to repair a partially torn ACL in his right knee, an early blow to a Brooklyn Nets team that hoped it had left its injury troubles behind.
Dinwiddie was hurt Sunday in Charlotte during the third quarter of the Nets’ first loss of the season. The Nets said Monday the guard’s surgery was scheduled for next week and further updates would be provided afterward.
Dinwiddie excelled in a reserve role for the the Nets in the past but had been in the starting lineup for the first three games under Steve Nash, averaging 6.7 points.
