The college basketball world received some unfortunate injury news out of Eugene this afternoon.
The Oregon Ducks announced via social media that their very own Sedona Prince, one of the sport’s great players and great voices, will miss her upcoming senior season as she undergoes surgery to repair a torn ligament in her elbow.
Prince will exhaust her remaining college eligibility once this season concludes, so she’ll begin the shift toward preparing for a professional basketball career.
The Ducks’ women’s basketball program will honor Prince this Friday night at their home arena before their exhibition game against Carroll College.

Prince, in her two seasons as a Duck, became a very important part of the frontcourt — her interior presence being key.
And already having lost a lot of talent from last season’s team to the transfer portal, Oregon will now prepare to begin its season without one of the faces of its program.
The Ducks enter the season ranked as the No. 20 team in the Associated Press Preseason Poll and have +6000 odds at DraftKings Sportsbook to win this season’s national championship.
