This just really sucks. Feel bad for Dinwiddie. Huge loss for the team.

Devastating blow to our team. Absolutely devastating.

I feel bad for Spencer. This was a big year for him.

This is why we loaded up on guards. Anything can happen and I’m legit scared for the health of everybody.

Steve & Mike are probably scared as hell to play KD tonight.

Injury in contract year, smh

This sucks. I hope he gets well soon.

Unless he wants to run it back after a full recovery for next season, I suspect last night was his last game as a Net.

Come on man....this is not the kind of news the Nets need 3 games in. Ugh.

Yeah, I didn't want to say it but I doubt he picks up his option. A partial tear is not going to derail his career and teams are going to be coming with 80 million dollar offers and up.

Sad end to his time here.

Wow, this is terrible, for us and him. Spence, I hope you heal up right.

Another heartbreaker.......Spencer was huge for us last season and would have added an incalculable amount of depth for us this season. I hope Spencer makes a full recovery and gets that big contract he deserves......wow...... :banghead:

Heartbreaking for spencer. he was a big part of this team and had sacraficed his role to help us win.

Next man up. Tyler Johnson, TLC, Brown... an opportunity is there for one of those guys to step up.

I hope Nash keeps Levert in his 6th man role. keep that bench strong. you dont need much offensive help next to KD/Kyrie/Harris. I think starting TLC short term makes sense with his size/catch and shoot ability. he improved alot too last season

I just wanted a year without any of our major players going through injury. This really sucks and I feel so bad for Spencer. He really wanted to be a Nets and willing to do whatever it took for us to win .

Was really hoping he could have been out for a couple of months max. I had no idea it could be this bad.

I didn't think him being in the starting lineup was a good idea though. He can't shoot and I don't think this role was working for him.

I think we should def start TLC and see how it goes. We need someone who can hit open 3s with KD and Kyrie and guard opposing players.

It also puts Joe back at his natural position which will be better for him defensively.

I don't think this honestly changes the trajectory of this team too much cause Spencer really didn't have a fit. It just sucks for him and I feel very bad.

I hope he opts in next season and we figure out a better way to use him.

Chris Levert probably will replace him .. huge loss.

Shark · Post #16 » by **Shark** » Mon Dec 28, 2020 6:09 pm

This sucks. Going to miss his defense, hopefully TLC can step in and provide at least that much.

MGrand15 · Post #17 » by **MGrand15** » Mon Dec 28, 2020 6:54 pm

I hope the team rallies around Spencer. Such a selfless guy. Sacrificed his game to fit with our stars. Constantly talks up LeVert in the media even though you could easily argue he's better. Helped recruit Kyrie even though they play the same position. He's adapted to every role we've given him without complaints. Just an overall good guy. Would love to see him stay here long term.

Damn, truly terrible news. Thank goodness we have guard depth but Din will be hard to replace in terms of his IQ. Hope he recovers well.

Will be truly sad if this is his last game as a Net.

DarkXaero · Post #19 » by **DarkXaero** » Mon Dec 28, 2020 7:30 pm

Awful news, Dinwiddie is likely our 3rd best player, so there's no way to downplay this. I hope he recovers well, and there's a slim chance that he's able to return by postseason.

MrDollarBills · Post #20 » by **MrDollarBills** » Mon Dec 28, 2020 7:31 pm

Well, what's the rotation now?

Jordan/Allen
KD/Green
TLC/Prince
Harris/Shamet
Kyrie/LeVert
