Dinwiddie, now a sought-after addition to the NBA's buyout market, was part of a trade deal earlier on Thursday, where the Raptors traded Dennis Schroder and Thaddeus Young to the Brooklyn Nets in exchange for him.

This marked Dinwiddie's departure from the Nets after a one-year stint.

He rejoined Brooklyn on February 6, 2023, in a trade involving Dorian Finney-Smith, an unprotected 2029 first-round pick, and second-round picks in 2027 and 2029. The exchange included Kyrie Irving and Markieff Morris.

In the ongoing season, Dinwiddie is averaging 12.6 points, 3.3 rebounds, and 6.0 assists across 48 matches.
