Oregon forward Sedona Prince shared an update regarding her medical situation Friday, which sheds light upon debt suffered regarding her medical bills.

Prince broke her leg during her freshman year at Texas before. Now at Oregon, Sedona received a denied appeal last month when it came to a quest for immediate eligibility for the Ducks.

One month later, she opened up on social media about the financial hardships that come with her transfer to Oregon because the broken leg took place during action with Team USA.

“I usually don’t open up about a personal subject like this, but I feel like it needs to get the attention it deserves,” Prince wrote. “Due to my injury last year, I received a call informing me of the $22,000 I owe in medical bills, which has gone to collections. As a 19-year old collegiate basketball player, no one should have to go through this, especially since I was under the care of my institution during the time of the hospital visit. The University I now attend is unable to pay this debt because of NCAA rules, and I am now deeply saddened that I will carry this burden for the rest of my life. No student athlete should ever have to struggle with this or walk away with debt from playing the sport they love. I hope my past experience opens the eyes of many, and prevents other student athletes from falling victim to the negligence that I’ve experienced. #scoducks.

"... Please know that this was not a bill from my first or second surgery. It was from a hospital visit from a complication with the recovery process after my second surgery. USA basketball did everything they could to help and I am grateful for their kindness."

Prince suffered the broken right leg playing for Team USA at 2018's U18 Women’s Americas Championship in Mexico City. The 6-foot-7 center was a top consensus top 10 recruit and McDonald's All-American is still dealing with setback, per Graves, of having a metal rod inserted into her leg.

The NCAA denied her appeal for immediate eligibility, which sees her on the sidelines for the entire 2019-20 season.

“We are obviously very disappointed in the decision made by the NCAA,” Oregon coach Kelly Graves said in a statement. “We felt that we submitted a strong case and believed Sedona was deserving of the opportunity to play immediately once she was physically able. If this case doesn’t merit relief, I don’t know what does. This has not been an easy process for Sedona and she is extremely disappointed with the decision, but I know she will continue to be a tremendous teammate as she works hard to get back to full strength. I can’t wait to see her in a Duck uniform over the next three seasons.”

Prince averaged 22.3 points, 8.2 rebounds and 4.7 blocks during her senior season of high school, and still figures to be an important face of the program moving forward. The Ducks are 14-2 this season and tied for second place in the Pac-12 Conference.
