Oregon State forward Tres Tinkle out vs. UCLA, return uncertain

Oregon State’s Tres Tinkle will not play Saturday against UCLA due to a foot injury, Wayne Tinkle told CBS Sports.

Tres Tinkle suffered the injury on Tuesday night prior to Wednesday’s loss at USC.

“Not looking good,” Wayne Tinkle told CBS Sports by text message. “Need to get home and have team docs evaluate.”

If Tres Tinkle cannot play in the Pac-12 Tournament it could be a blow to the Beavers’ NCAA Tournament hopes. Oregon State is 17-11 overall and 8-9 in Pac-12 play.

Tres Tinkle is averaging 13.1 points and 5.4 rebounds this season.
