Florida heart Micah Handlogten is able to return from the damaged left leg sustained in final 12 months’s Southeastern Convention championship recreation.
The 7-foot-1 junior stated on Friday that he plans to hitch the third-ranked Gators (21-3, 8-3 SEC) for Saturday’s recreation in opposition to South Carolina (10-14, 0-11) in Gainesville, Fla.
“I am again,” Handlogten stated. “I am able to get out and hoop for the Gators.”
Handlogten initially deliberate to redshirt this season after having a rod and two screws inserted into his leg following his ugly harm throughout Florida’s 86-67 loss to Auburn on March 17.
By returning now, Handlogten will help Florida climate ankle accidents to beginning large man Alex Condon and backup ahead Sam Alexis.
Handlogten averaged 5.3 factors and 6.9 rebounds in 33 video games (32 begins) throughout his first season with the Gators in 2023-24. He transferred to Florida after posting 7.6 factors, 9.8 rebounds and a pair of.3 blocks in 32 video games (all begins) at Marshall in 2022-23.
