SAN JOSE, Calif. — Oregon forward Louis King, who has been nursing a swollen left ankle, practiced without any limitation on Thursday.
Oregon’s leading scorer (13.1) and rebounder (5.7) had a walking boot on his left foot before the Ducks practiced but showed no signs of issues once on the court at the SAP Center this afternoon.
“It’s doing great,” King said. “I just tweaked a little bit. It swole [sic] up a little bit. I put ice on it, it’s going to be fine. ... I feel like when my adrenaline is pumping I don’t really feel it.”
King suffered his latest minor injury during Oregon’s win over Arizona State in the semifinals of the Pac-12 tournament last weekend.
The 6-foot-9 freshman’s right hand is still wrapped from an injury he suffered over a month ago.
King estimated he’s physically at “85 percent” entering No. 12 seed Oregon’s first-round game with No. 5 seed Wisconsin (23-10) on Friday.
“I just stay mentally inside the game,” he said. “It’s all mental.”
