Newly-acquired Mavericks guard Spencer Dinwiddie opened up on Saturday regarding reports about him being a bad teammate when he was with the Wizards earlier this season.
“I think that’s what hurts the most. I’ve never bashed Washington,” Dinwiddie said Saturday, per ESPN’s Tim MacMahon. “I’ve never said an ill thing about the team. In fact, I thank the owner or chairman Ted [Leonsis], I thank Tommy Sheppard the GM, and I thank [Bradley Beal] for those three kind of collectively deciding to give me my contract.”
“They didn’t have to pay somebody coming off an ACL. I’m appreciative of that, appreciative of my time there. ... So to be bashed on the way out the door hurt my feelings for sure. I think I’m human, of course.”
