NEW YORK _ When he spoke to the media Thursday afternoon, Nets point guard Spencer Dinwiddie was in a playful mood, joking easily about his "ultra-factual statement" about the Nets being New York's best team and the uproar that created among Knicks fans on social media since that preseason remark.
But the fun went out of the buildup to the season's final Nets-Knicks game Friday night at Barclays Center when the Nets announced later Thursday evening that Dinwiddie is questionable and is being evaluated for a right thumb injury.
An NBA source declined to confirm reports that Dinwiddie suffered torn ligaments that might require surgery, and the Nets indicated they will issue an update after a further diagnosis is completed Friday.
