Point guard Peyton Scott out for the season with knee injury

Oregon point guard Peyton Scott suffered a season-ending injury Monday night.

Oregon Ducks’ guard Peyton Scott will miss the remainder of the 2023-24 season after suffering a knee injury in Monday’s game against Northern Arizona, head women’s basketball coach Kelly Graves announced Wednesday.

The Oregon point guard was chasing down a loose ball early in the season opener with the Lumberjacks. Her knee twisted as Scott went down to the floor where she was later helped off.

A native of Lynchburg, Ohio, Scott spent four seasons at Miami (Ohio), leaving as the program’s No. 4 all-time scorer with 1,871 points. She earned all-MAC recognition four times, including second-team honors in back-to-back seasons (2020-21, 2021-22). Scott is fourth in Redhawks’ history with 36 20-point scoring efforts and 676 career-made field goals.

She’ll likely be able to receive a medical redshirt and return to the Duck program for 2024-25.

Oregon women’s basketball adds Miami (OH) transfer guard Peyton Scott

Kelly Graves adds former Miami (OH) guard Peyton Scott to the 2023-24 women’s basketball roster.

Kelly Graves is finalizing his Oregon Ducks women’s basketball roster for the 2023-24 season and he has added transfer guard Peyton Scott from Miami (OH).

The former Redhawk averaged 15.4 points per game last season and during her four-year career, Scott poured in 17 points per contest. She also shoots 83 percent from the free throw line last season and was named to the Third Team All-MAC squad.

Scott’s best season came during the 2020-21 year when she averaged 21 points a game as a sophomore.

The Ducks continue to add guard talent after seeing the likes of Te-Hina Paopao and Endyia Rogers leave the program. Oregon added former Liberty guard Kennedi Williams a couple of days ago.
