The injuries keep coming to Oregon.

Center N’Faly Dante, UO’s leader in points, rebounds, blocks and steals, left Friday night’s game against No. 12 Michigan State midway through the first half and won’t return due to concussion protocol, according to a team spokesman.

Dante (14.8 points, 7.4 rebounds, 1.6 blocks, 1.4 steals) walked towards the Ducks bench during a stoppage with 9:10 to go in the first half and appeared wobbly. He was subbed out and initially went down along the chairs on the bench before being helped to a seat and went to the locker room.

He returned after halftime in a hooded sweatshirt and is out for the remainder of the game.
