Dickinson projects to be a second-round pick in this year's NBA Draft, but for now he has to worry about getting Michigan back on track in a loaded Big Ten conference.

Warming up Tuesday Dickinson (undisclosed) is partaking in warmups ahead of Tuesday's game versus Maryland, Michael Cohen of The Detroit Free Press reports.
Impact Dickinson's presence in warmups gives him a chance to give it a go Tuesday after missing the previous contest. The sophomore 7-footer has been dominant down low for the Wolverines this year, racking up 16.1 points and 8.8 boards per contest, so his availability could be paramount to the team's chances of picking up just its second win in the Big Ten. However, he's officially a game-time call for the contest, so the starting lineup should provide a bit more clarity on his situation.
