Spencer Dinwiddie Leads Bayern to 93–81 Victory in BBL Debut

Coach Gordon Herbert’s prior connection with the guard drove the move to Munich.

Overview

  • Dinwiddie topped all scorers with 18 points in 23 minutes against Heidelberg, opening with back‑to‑back threes and posting 60% from deep at halftime.
  • Bayern moved to 4–1 in the league with the home win, maintaining control after a 63–35 halftime lead as Herbert limited Dinwiddie’s second‑half minutes to manage his integration.
  • The 32‑year‑old joined after being released by the Charlotte Hornets before the NBA season and signed with Bayern for the current campaign.
  • His Bayern bow came days earlier in the EuroLeague, an 86–70 home win over Virtus Bologna at the SAP Garden in front of a large crowd.
  • Off the court, Dinwiddie launched a fan nickname contest on social media with a signed jersey for the winning suggestion, as Bayern prepare to visit Paris Basketball in the EuroLeague on Thursday.
