The Miami Heat are reportedly “very interested” in signing Toronto Raptors point guard Kyle Lowry in free agency. However, if the Heat don’t land him, they will set their sights on Brooklyn Nets guard Spencer Dinwiddie, among others.
Anthony Chiang and Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald provided the report.
“According to a source, Nets impending unrestricted free agent point guard Spencer Dinwiddie is expected to be among the players of interest to Miami if the Heat doesn’t land Lowry,” the duo wrote.
Dinwiddie suffered a partially torn ACL during the Nets’ Dec. 27 loss to the Charlotte Hornets, and his 2020-21 season ended up being over after just two games.
However, Dinwiddie has been cleared for basketball activities since June, per Shams Charania of Stadium and The Athletic, who relayed comments from Dr. Riley Williams (Dinwiddie’s surgeon):

Nets free agent Spencer Dinwiddie has been fully cleared for all basketball activities, his operating surgeon Dr. Riley Williams says. Dinwiddie recovered from a partial ACL tear in just over five months. He enters free agency as one of the top point guards on the market.
Dinwiddie averaged 20.6 points and 6.8 assists in 64 games for the 2019-20 Nets. Both marks were career highs.
