Oregon center Sedona Prince will undergo season-ending surgery on a torn ligament in her elbow that will bring about an abrupt end to her college career, the program announced Friday.
Prince, a preseason All-Pac-12 selection, made the decision to exhaust her remaining NCAA eligibility and pursue a professional career following the surgery, effectively ending her time with the Ducks. She said that she was “heartbroken” by the news, but recognized that the operation was pivotal to her future success in basketball.
“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,” Prince said in a statement.
