Oregon men’s basketball traveled this weekend to Florida for the Emerald Coast Classic, and dropped their first match to the Santa Clara Broncos, 82-88.
Unfortunately, in what has become a recurring theme to the early season in Ducks basketball for several years, Oregon finds themselves without key players due to injury.
Oregon centers Nate Bittle (wrist) and N’Faly Dante (knee) underwent successful surgeries this week, per UO.
Bittle will be reevaluated in eight weeks. Dante will be reevaluated in four weeks.— James Crepea (@JamesCrepea) November 24, 2023We did see the first play of the season from Jackson Shelstad, Oregon’s 4* freshman guard, who has been overcoming a preseason knee injury.
