This is what is known so far: https://www.oregonlive.com/ducks/2019/0 ... l-war.html
“Don’t know, doesn’t look good,” Oregon coach Kelly Graves said. “But we’ve got a lot of season left to play for and obviously we were good enough to have a chance to get it done without her. We’ll see.”
Asked if there was any indication of structural or ligament damage to Hebard, who had eight points and four rebounds before the injury and went through warmups before the second half, Graves was unable to say.
“She didn’t look all that good,” he said. “When she’s not walking healthy then to me – I don’t know the severity.”
It’s hard to overstate the impact to Oregon’s postseason hopes if Hebard is out for a prolonged period of time. She entered Monday’s game averaging 16.8 points and 9.1 rebounds with 10 double-doubles this season and ranks second nationally in field-goal percentage (68.9).
“We’re going to pray," Graves said. "Hope that she is better. We have a great training staff but we have a short week so it’s a quick turnaround. In three days we’ve got UCLA coming in, they’ve won six of the last sevens so that’s not going to be any picnic. Hopefully she’ll be able to be better by then — I don’t know. The honest truth is I don’t know.”
