CBS NEWS: Hunter Dickinson has been suspended for a…
Hunter Dickinson may not play for Juwan Howard’s Michigan basketball team anymore, but the former Wolverine clearly still supports his coach.
The now-Kansas Jayhawk demonstrated that support on Sunday by defending Howard a day after his Wolverines fell 73-63 to Michigan State in Ann Arbor. Dickinson went to social media to respond to Michigan State football linebacker Jordan Hall, who shared a post on his Instagram Story of Howard photoshopped as a McDonald’s employee.
The post, which originally generated from a Michigan State fan account following the Spartans’ win, clearly didn’t sit well with Dickinson. He clapped back at Hall, pointing out that Michigan football walloped the Spartans in 2023:

“I don’t think the sport that lost 49-0 should be involved in the trolling,” Dickinson wrote on X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter.
Dickinson, a big trash talker himself, made sure Hall remembered the blowout Michigan handed the Spartans in October. Behind J.J. McCarthy’s big passing day — 289 passing yards with four touchdowns — the Wolverines beat the Spartans by a landslide, 49-0. Michigan’s shutout win over Michigan State marked the fifth-biggest blowout in rivalry history.
Even as pressure mounts around Howard in what is his worst season to date in Ann Arbor, it’s clear the players he coaches — and coached — still support him.
