OREGON DUCKS 4-4 · 18TH IN BIG TEN
4-4 · 18TH IN BIG TEN
Next Game at UCLA · Sat 11:00PM
Nate Bittle - Hopeful to return at UCLA Oregon head coach Dana Altman said he's "hopeful" to have Bittle (ankle) healthy for Saturday's game at UCLA, James Crepea of The Oregonian reports.
Impact Bittle suffered an ankle injury last Tuesday against San Diego State, and he's now been sidelined for back-to-back games as a result. The senior big man will hopefully be back in action in an upcoming away game with the Bruins, but Altman didn't seem convinced that Bittle will be 100 percent. The fifth-year center has averaged 16.3 points and 7.8 rebounds across six starts so far this season.

Jackson Shelstad - Solid outing not enough Shelstad supplied 13 points (6-12 FG, 1-6 3Pt), one rebound, five assists and one steal in 37 minutes during Tuesday's 82-77 loss to USC.
Impact Shelstad had a very solid game any way you slice it, but it wasn't enough to power the Ducks to victory as Oregon dropped its Big Ten opener to USC. Shelstad's 1-of-6 showing from downtown is certainly tough to swallow in a five-point loss, and that's been a recurring theme for the guard. Though he's chucking up nearly nine three-pointers per game, he's only shooting 29 percent from distance through seven games.

Kwame Evans Jr. - Leading scorer for Ducks Evans registered 23 points (6-12 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 9-11 FT), nine rebounds, two assists, one block and two steals in 36 minutes during Tuesday's 82-77 loss to USC.
Impact Evans' 23 points were a season-high as he continues to take his game to another level in 2025-26. His effort was for naught, as Oregon fell to USC in the Ducks' first Big Ten game, but Oregon has to like what it's getting out of its junior forward. He's more than doubled his scoring average from last season and has been more efficient in every shooting category. Meanwhile, he's been a force on the glass, pulling down 7.1 rebounds per game.

Dezdrick Lindsay - Scores seven in defeat Lindsay (undisclosed) notched seven points (3-5 FG, 1-2 FT) and three rebounds over 21 minutes during Tuesday's 82-77 loss to USC.
Impact Lindsay scored seven off the bench Tuesday night after pregame reporting indicated that he might miss the contest. The 6-foot-6 senior, who is averaging 4.8 points, 2.8 rebounds and 0.9 assists on 19.6 minutes per game, will look to help the Ducks bounce back against UCLA this Saturday.

Devon Pryor - In starting lineup Pryor (groin) is active and starting Tuesday against USC, Matt Prehm of 247Sports.com reports.
Impact Pryor suffered a groin injury in Oregon's most recent game, but the ailment won't force him to miss a contest. He'll take on his typical starting role. On the year, Pryor is averaging 5.2 points and 4.0 rebounds across 19.7 minutes per game.
2 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE
Sean Stewart - Starting against USC Stewart is listed amongst Oregon's starting five ahead of Tuesday's game against USC, Matt Prehm of 247Sports.com reports.
Impact Stewart will get the start in place of the injured Bittle (ankle) against the Trojans. The 6-foot-9 junior has been solid for the Ducks this season, averaging 7.3 points and 5.6 rebounds on 21.7 minutes per game after transferring in from Ohio State (previously Duke).

Dezdrick Lindsay - Hopeful to face USC Oregon head coach Dana Altman said before Tuesday's game against USC that the team is "hoping" Lindsay can play, James Crepea of The Oregonian reports.
Impact Lindsay was listed as questionable on the team's official injury report, and it looks like he'll be trying to give it a go. His official availability may depend upon how his body responds to pregame warmups. Lindsay hasn't missed a game this season.

Devon Pryor - Hopeful to play Tuesday Pryor (groin) has a chance to suit up for Tuesday's game against USC, James Crepea of The Oregonian reports.
Impact The Ducks are hopeful to have Pryor, who sustained a groin injury during Oregon's last game against Creighton, available for Tuesday night's showdown with the Trojans. The 6-foot-7 junior transfer from Texas has averaged 5.2 points and four rebounds on 19.7 minutes per game across the Ducks' first six games.

Dezdrick Lindsay - Question mark Tuesday Lindsay (undisclosed) is questionable for Oregon's tilt with USC on Tuesday.
Impact It's unclear what Lindsay is dealing with, but he popped up on the Ducks' injury report Tuesday night as Oregon gears up to open Big Ten play against USC. He appears to be a game-time call.
2 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE
Devon Pryor - Questionable vs. Trojans Pryor (groin) is questionable to play against USC on Tuesday.
Impact Pryor was banged up against Creighton, and the starting forward looks to be a true game-time call for the Ducks' clash with USC to open Big Ten play. He averages 5.2 points and 4.0 rebounds this season.
2 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE
Efe Vatan - Still out Tuesday Vatan (foot) is out against USC on Tuesday.
Impact Vatan has yet to play this season, and that will remain the case. The freshman's next chance to play will come against UCLA on Dec. 6.

Nate Bittle - Won't face Trojans Bittle (ankle) isn't available to face USC on Tuesday, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reports.
Impact Bittle will miss his second straight game after he also sat out against Creighton in the Players Era Festival on Thanksgiving. This continues to be a big loss for Oregon, as Bittle averages 16.3 points and 7.8 rebounds. Sean Stewart got the start in his stead against the Bluejays.

Devon Pryor - Questionable at best Pryor (groin) is questionable at best for Tuesday's game against USC, according to Matt Prehm of 247Sports.
Impact Oregon's starting frontcourt may already be short a top option should Nate Bittle (ankle) be out, and Pryor unavailable would worsen matters. For the month of November, his four starts include 6.8 points and 5.8 rebounds per game. The fifth start resulted in Pryor's groin injury, and the Ducks risk beginning their December schedule without him.

Nate Bittle - Questionable for USC-Oregon game Oregon's head coach Dana Altman recently announced that Bittle (ankle) is "very questionable" for the USC-UO game Tuesday, according to Rob Moseley of GoDucks.com.
Impact Altman describing Bittle as "very questionable" is not a promising sign that he will play against USC, which can be problematic for Oregon. "We're definitely a different team when Nate's not on the floor," the head coach confirmed Monday. Bittle backs up his head coach's statement with senior averages of 16.3 points, 7.8 rebounds and 2.3 blocks in six starts this season.

Nate Bittle - Dealing with ankle injury Bittle is dealing with an ankle injury, according to James Crepea of OregonLive.com.
Impact Bittle was inactive for Thursday's loss after suffering an ankle sprain Tuesday against SDSU, and it's unclear when he'll be able to return. His next chance to play will come against USC on Tuesday, Dec. 2. Bittle is averaging a career-best 16.3 points per game, so not having him around certainly limits Oregon's talent on offense.

Nate Bittle - Inactive vs. Creighton Bittle (undisclosed) is out for Thursday's game at Creighton.
Impact The reasons behind Bittle's absence are unclear, but his loss is a huge one for the Ducks. His next chance to play will come against USC on Tuesday, Dec. 2.
NOVEMBER 27 • ROTOWIRE
Devon Pryor - Will miss rest of game Pryor is out for the rest of Thursday's game against Creighton due to a groin injury, James Crepea of The Oregonian reports.
Impact Pryor has been a regular source of offense for Oregon this season, so not having him certainly thins the team's depth on the wings. There should be more minutes available for Dezdrick Lindsay and JJ Frakes, as well as Jamari Phillips, with Pryor out.

Impact Vatan has yet to play this season for the Ducks. He doesn't have a timetable to return, but even when he's cleared, he's not expected to have a significant role in the rotation.
