Nets SG Spencer Dinwiddie announced Tuesday that after again testing positive for coronavirus, he will not be joining the Nets in Orlando for the resumption of the season.
Dinwiddie tweeted:
"After another positive test yesterday and considering the symptoms, @BrooklynNets, team doctors and I have decided that it would be in the best interest for me and the team that I do not play in Orlando. I will be supporting the guys every step of the way! #AudienceOfOne"
In addition to Dinwiddie, the Nets will also be without Kyrie Irving, who is still recovering from shoulder surgery.
Kevin Durant, who has been out all season after surgery on his Achilles, will also not be playing when the season resumes.
Dinwiddie disclosed on June 29 that he had tested positive for the coronavirus, saying at the time that he was unsure about playing in Orlando.
"Over the past few months, I have been diligent about protecting myself and others from COVID-19 by following all designated protocol and quarantining," Dinwiddie said. "I was ready and prepared to rejoin my teammates as we were to be an early entry team in the resumed season. I flew private to return to New York, passed multiple COVID-19 tests over my first several days in New York and was able to participate in a couple practices within the first week.
"Given that I have experienced symptoms, including fever and chest tightness, it is unclear on whether or not I'll be able to participate in Orlando."
Dinwiddie averaged a career-high 20.6 points per game this season.
