Spencer Dinwiddie is hoping to play for the Brooklyn Nets in Orlando after recovering from COVID-19.
Dinwiddie was among the Nets players to test positive for the virus, which delayed his ability to work at the team’s facility. He shared an update about his health status on Sunday, saying that his headaches are starting to subside. He says if he has a negative test on Monday he’ll be able to resume basketball activities.
Day 10 update: The sinus pressure headaches when I get up are starting to subside. But I was a lil too bullish on the bike . Got dizzy and felt weak smh. But if I can get a negative test tomorrow then they’re gonna get me back on court Tuesday #AudienceOfOne

We learned of Dinwiddie’s positive test on June 29. At the time he said he was experiencing some chest tightness.
Nets center DeAndre Jordan also tested positive for the virus and decided not to participate in the restart, but Dinwiddie wanted to wait before making a decision, and he now seems intent on playing. The 27-year-old is averaging 20.6 points, 6.8 assists and 3.5 rebounds per game, all of which are career highs.
