There is some welcoming news for the Oregon Ducks when it comes to big man N’Faly Dante, who reportedly is working out against after an ACL tear that took place in December of last year.
According to college basketball insider Jon Rothstein, Dante is still not going through live participation with the team, but his rehab is continuing, and there is reason to believe that he could be able to return to the court this upcoming season with the Ducks.
Dante was averaging 8.2 points and 5.8 rebounds per game and shooting 65.6 percent from the field prior to his injury.
Having Dante on the floor will be a cherry on top of what is already shaping up to be an uber-talented roster for the Ducks in 2021-22. With the return of big-man Franck Kepnang, as well as 5-star recruit Nathan Bittle, Oregon is expected to be loaded in the paint, with a number of highly-rated transfers filling out the backcourt.
We will continue to monitor Dante’s progress as the season gets closer, but this is a welcome development a few months out.
