The Oregon men’s basketball team granted the release of junior center Michael Chandler on Tuesday, according to a press release from the school.
“We would like to thank [Chandler] for being an important part of our team this season, and respect his wish to find the best opportunity moving forward,” head coach Dana Altman said in the release. “We wish Michael all the best in the future.”
Chandler is now eligible to seek a transfer from the school.
Chandler, a 6-foot-10 center from Indianapolis, Indiana, transfered to Oregon from Northwest Florida State. He played in 19 games for the Ducks this past season, averaging 2.2 points and 1.4 rebounds per game.
Coming out of Lawrence North High School in Indianapolis, Chandler was rated as the fifth best center in the country. He averaged 19 points, 12 rebounds and five blocks per game in high school.
