Oregon Ducks basketball coach Kelly Graves offered some bleak injury news on Friday morning during his press conference ahead of the Ducks’ appearance in the Battle For Atlantis tournament in the Bahamas.
Graves stated that star PG Te-Hina Paopao did not make the trip with the team, and will be sidelined with an injury for “the foreseeable future.”
Paopao did not make the trip with the team so that she could get a jumpstart on her rehabilitation over this time. Graves noted that they are hopeful she can return to the court by the time that Pac-12 play starts later this year.
Graves also noted that Endyia Rogers will be out indefinitely with a broken hand, and freshman Taylor Bigby will also not play during this coming tournament. As for Nyara Sabally, they are hopeful that she can play after suffering an injury early in the season.
