Nate Bittle - Could be available Thursday Bittle (wrist) could be available during Oregon's game Thursday at Colorado, according to James Crepea of The Oregonian. Impact According to Oregon's head coach Dana Altman, Bittle "might play a little bit" at Colorado depending on what his doctors say during their scheduled meeting Wednesday. But while the big man is "getting closer" to full health, he is not expected to play much Thursday. There is also a chance Bittle sits out against Colorado, pushing his earliest return date to a game at Utah scheduled for Sunday. If that does happen, the aforementioned principle will still apply. Bittle "might play a little bit" then but is not expected to do much and may be unavailable entirely.
