Oregon basketball star Sedona Prince will not play this season and has decided to forgo her final year of eligibility due to a torn elbow ligament that requires surgery, the team announced Friday.
Prince is a redshirt senior but “will exhaust her remaining eligibility to focus on recovery before pursuing a professional career,” per the team’s Twitter.
“I’m heartbroken,” Prince said in a statement. “I truly felt that this was the year I could showcase my work ethic and skills on the court, but also my self-growth and leadership ability. I tried to push through the injury and be there for my team, but after extensive evaluation from the best doctors in the world and looking deep inside myself at my passions and goals, I know that I have to take care (of) my elbow now in order to ensure long-term health and a sustained professional career.”
