Oregon Ducks basketball forward Kwame Evans Jr. suffered an apparent knee injury during the second half of Sunday’s game in Matthew Knight Arena against the Stephen F. Austin Lumberjacks.

Evans Jr. appeared to be in a lot of pain as the team’s training staff raced out to help him off the floor. He finished with eight points on 3-for-4 shooting from the field, 2-for-3 on free throws plus five rebounds.

Through the first 10 games of his sophomore season, Evans Jr. has averaged 5.3 points per game on a 42.2 field goal percentage as well as 4.4 rebounds per game for the Ducks. Oregon coach Dana Altman has put him in the starting lineup three times.

Evans Jr. kicked off the 2024-25 campaign with a dominant performance against the UC Riverside Highlanders on Nov. 4 in Eugene. He scored 23 points on 8-for-15 field goals, 2-for-5 three pointers, and 5-for-5 free throws in the season opener.

With the 79-61 victory over Stephen F. Austin, No. 12 Oregon moves to a 10-1 overall record, 1-1 in Big Ten Conference play with a win at the USC Trojans and a loss against the UCLA Bruins.

In their next game, the Ducks will be playing former Pac-12 Conference member Stanford Cardinal in the San Jose Tip-Off at the SAP Center in the Bay Area on Saturday, Dec. 21 at 5 p.m. PT. The college basketball event is a double-header with the San Diego State Aztecs going up against the California Golden Bears at 7:30 p.m. PT after the Oregon game.

The newest edition of the AP Top-25 comes out on Monday morning at 9 a.m. PT. Whether the Ducks will stay at No. 12 for the third week in the row is yet to be seen. According to the most recent March Madness prediction from ESPN’s Joe Lunardi, Oregon is predicted to be a No. 4 seed and potentially play at the Climate Pledge Arena in Seattle, Washington, for the first and second round.
