Here’s some interesting international basketball news, via the New York Post:
Nets guard Spencer Dinwiddie is planning to acquire a Nigerian passport to play for Nigeria in the 2021 Summer Olympics in Tokyo, according to The Athletic.
Dinwiddie, who was not among the 44 players who were announced as finalists for spots on Team USA, can be eligible to play for Nigeria if he is successful in his quest for a passport. He confirm The Athletic’s report with a simple reply on his Twitter page.
“Well now y’all know lol,” Dinwiddie tweeted.
Dinwiddie had a good season for the Nets in 2019-20, and for many weeks was considered a contender to make the All-Star team.
