The defending champs got an easy 97-71 win and Dixon had two points in almost six minutes of action. It’s the first step for him and the team, which is also waiting for the return of another injured star, Serb Nikola Kalinic.
Dixon was injured in the summer and couldn’t compete as a naturalized player for Turkey in the Eurobasket. Kalinic also missed the tournament.
