EUGENE — Jackson Shelstad may be able to begin non-contact practice in the coming days.

The Oregon point guard, who broke his hand last month, was officially listed as questionable but did not play in Tuesday’s season opener against Hawaii.

Shelstad, who was not wearing a split while on the bench, visited with doctors earlier Tuesday and got positive feedback.

“Everything looks good,” Oregon coach Dana Altman said. “I think they’re going to talk with his parents and talk with the doctors again. Maybe start doing some non-contact stuff.

“We obviously need him. He runs our stuff. He knows our stuff. I think he can get us organized and we can start running some stuff.”

Oregon committed 21 turnovers, its most since 2013, in the 60-59 win over Hawaii. Wei Lin committed four of those turnovers while starting at point guard in place of Shelstad, who averaged 13.7 points and 2.7 assists in 35 starts last season.
