Dixon injured his right ankle during the summer, although he couldn’t pinpoint a specific date or cause of injury. He had been playing in Pittsburgh’s Basketball Club Pro-Am, a summer league for local basketball players, until the injury. His previous injury required surgery and the placement of a pin into his ankle.

As Pitt’s only returning starter, Dixon was expecting to be back in time for the start of the 2009-10 season.

The athletic department could not be reached for comment, but could release more information later today.
