The Nets held a lavish birthday bash for beloved point guard Spencer Dinwiddie.

The 2022-23 NBA season has been a chaotic one for the Brooklyn Nets. The team reached the playoffs and has a plethora of future draft capital. However, they were also plagued by scandal while also having to trade away both Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant. While the future may be bright for the Nets, it has been a rollercoaster season for fans.

One persistent bright spot for the team has been veteran point guard Spencer Dinwiddie. Dinwiddie, who spent five seasons with the Nets between 2016 and 2021, returned to the team as part of the package from the Mavs for Kyrie. Since moving back to Brooklyn, Dinwiddie is nearly averaging a double-double, with 16.5 points per game and 9.1 assists per game. He is currently third in points per game on the team's current roster. Dinwiddie has been a core piece of the Nets' late-season run to the playoffs. But Dinwiddie shone for a different reason over the weekend, as it was his 30th birthday that saw the Nets go all out in Manhattan.

Nets Out Till 3 AM For Dinwiddie's 30TH

According to a report from Page Six, the Nets booked out Sei Less for a 75-person party to celebrate Dinwiddie's birthday. Coming off a 101-84 win over the Magic on Friday evening, the team reportedly stayed out until 3am Saturday morning. However, Dinwiddie's 30th was not the only thing worth celebrating, as the win had also guaranteed the Nets their playoff spot. The celebration was not cheap, with the minimum price for a full restaurant reservation at the Asian fusion spot being $60,000. A regular haunt of many celebrities, Sei Less also hosted a birthday party for Julia Fox last year during her brief fling with Kanye.

Unfortunately for the Nets, the celebration did not extend across the rest of the weekend. The team dropped their regular-season finale to the Sixers 134-105 on Sunday afternoon. The Nets will face off against the Sixers again in the first round of the playoffs next weekend. But for a few hours on Saturday morning, the team was able to blow off steam and celebrate the milestone birthday of a beloved teammate.
