Basketball withdrawal is setting in for NBA players in the wake of the league's suspension.

On Sunday, Brooklyn Nets guard Spencer Dinwiddie tweeted to ask if any other players were spending their time off watching their own highlights.

Several players admitted to doing the same, including Stephen Curry, Donovan Mitchell, Trae Young, Bradley Beal, Jayson Tatum, and Buddy Hield.

NBA commissioner Adam Silver said he expects the league's hiatus to last "at least 30 days." However, some team owners and executives reportedly view a mid-to-late June return as the best-case scenario.
