Nate Bittle - Not expected to return this year Head coach Dana Altman mentioned Thursday that he does not think Bittle (wrist) will return this season, James Crepea of The Oregonian reports. Impact Bittle is dealing with a broken bone in his wrist and had surgery to get it fixed in late November. He wasn't expected to get reevaluated for eight weeks after the surgery, but Altman said it's been a slow recovery so far and doesn't expect the big man to return this year. Bittle started the first three games of the year before getting injured and averaged 13 points, six rebounds and 1.7 blocks per contest. He should be eligible for an injury redshirt and will look to return to a prominent role with the Ducks in 2024-25.
