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.
Any @NBA players going to @YouTube to watch their own highlights due to withdrawals? 😅
