Overview

  • The 32-year-old guard joined FC Bayern Basketball and led their 93–81 win over Heidelberg with 18 points in his first BBL game.
  • Charlotte released him in October because of roster size constraints but remains responsible for his guaranteed $3.6 million.
  • With NBA rosters full, Bayern won the race over other European suitors, helped by Dinwiddie’s familiarity with coach Gordon Herbert and a recommendation from Maxi Kleber.
  • He scored six points in a recent EuroLeague outing against Bologna after arriving just 36 hours earlier, with jetlag noted as a factor.
  • German reports estimate his total earnings at about €4.3 million this season, combining the Hornets’ guaranteed money and Bayern’s roughly €1.2 million gross deal.
