The Phil Knight Invitational will be held in a tournament format for the first time since its inaugural year in 2017-18, as 16 teams competed over three days. Dana Altman's squad lost two out of their three games that season, falling to Oklahoma in the fifth place game.

The two most recent PK Invitationals were a one-day event. Oregon defeated Memphis in the 2019 edition, and most recently, BYU clobbered the Ducks this past November. Overall, the men's team owns a 2-3 record in the Phil Knight Invitational.

The women will play in the invitational for the first time since the 2017-18 season, however that year the event was held at Matthew Knight Arena. Oregon defeated Oklahoma 92-74 in front of more than 6,000 fans in Eugene.

Both the men's and women's teams will feature a great amount of young talent on a national stage next season. Altman's team will feature such talent as Dior Johnson, Kel'el Ware, and Nathan Bittle, while Kelly Graves' squad will have plenty of five-stars on the court like Chance Gray, Grace VanSlooten, Te-Hina Paopao, and Sydney Parrish.
