The Hornets waived Dinwiddie on Thursday, ESPN's Shams Charania reports. The Hornets needed to waive a guaranteed salary ahead of Opening Night to finalize their roster. With Collin Sexton and Tre Mann (hip) putting together strong training camps, Dinwiddie was viewed as expendable by Charlotte. The veteran is likely to receive NBA interest elsewhere.

Spencer Dinwiddie: Breaking News
Logs 19 minutes off bench
Dinwiddie ended with six points (2-3 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-4 FT), four assists and three rebounds in 19 minutes during Saturday's preseason win over Dallas. Dinwiddie produced very little despite playing meaningful minutes, a sign of what fantasy managers might expect to see during the regular season. While he does provide the Hornets with a viable backup, should LaMelo Ball miss time throughout the season, Dinwiddie's standalone value remains limited. Barring injuries to other players, the veteran is unlikely to factor too much when it comes to tangible production.
Inks deal with Charlotte
Dinwiddie agreed to a one-year deal with the Hornets on Wednesday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports. After spending the 2024-25 campaign with the Mavericks, Dinwiddie moves on to his sixth NBA team. The veteran guard will provide some depth for Charlotte. The team recently added Collin Sexton and Tre Mann to its backcourt. Dinwiddie averaged 11.0 points, 2.6 rebounds and 4.4 assists per game last season while shooting 41.6 percent from the floor and 33.4 percent from beyond the arc.
