Sports fans will always have “what if…” questions regarding teams or players that didn’t meet expectations due to many situations. One “what if” that’s recently been asked is what if \u00a0Spencer Dinwiddie<\/a>, now with the Dallas Mavericks<\/a>, never tore his ACL<\/a> three games into the 2020-21 season. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The injury happened in Charlotte and started a wild string of injuries for the Nets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before Dinwiddie was injured, numerous trade rumors were swirling around involving Dinwiddie and eventual<\/a>-now-former<\/a> Net James Harden<\/a>. If Dinwiddie had not gotten hurt, then there is a huge chance he might have been involved in a trade deal for Harden. Had Dinwiddie stayed in Brooklyn, he would have played a significant role as the primary point guard because of the vaccination rules situation<\/a> with Kyrie Irving<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Due to the injury, Dinwiddie was traded as part of a 5-team sign-and-trade <\/a>that dealt him to the Washington Wizards<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
