Notches 12 points
Dickinson logged 12 points (6-9 FG), five rebounds, three assists and two steals across 23 minutes of Thursday's 132-125 preseason loss to Orlando.
ANALYSIS
Kevon Looney is expected to miss two to three weeks due to a proximal tibiofibular ligament, potentially opening some minutes up in the frontcourt. Derik Queen is still rehabbing from wrist surgery, so Dickinson has a chance to enter the rotation behind Yves Missi. He would likely need to outplay Karlo Matkovic for that to happen, however.

Joining Pels on two-way deal
Dickinson agreed to a two-way contract with the Pelicans on Thursday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
After a prolific five-year college career, Dickinson wasn't selected in the 2025 NBA Draft, but he quickly found a home in New Orleans. The 24-year-old center will add depth to the Pelicans frontcourt but is expected to see the vast majority of his playing time as a rookie with New Orleans' G League affiliate, the Birmingham Squadron.
