Spencer Dinwiddie, a veteran NBA guard with 11 seasons under his belt, has signed with FC Bayern Munich for the remainder of the 2025-26 season, marking his first professional stint outside the United States. The 32-year-old, who was waived by the Charlotte Hornets before the season, joins the reigning German champions to play in both the EuroLeague and Germany's Basketball Bundesliga without an NBA opt-out clause. Bayern's head coach, Gordon Herbert, praised Dinwiddie for his versatility, basketball IQ, and ability to play multiple positions on both ends of the floor. Dinwiddie has had a notable NBA career, including significant roles with the Brooklyn Nets and Dallas Mavericks, averaging 13 points and 5.1 assists over 621 games. He is expected to arrive in Munich soon for medical evaluations and to join the team for their EuroLeague and domestic campaigns. Dinwiddie's signing is seen as a major addition to Bayern as they aim to defend their domestic title and improve their EuroLeague performance.
