Florida Forward Alex Condon Exits Game with Ankle Injury

The Gators' standout sophomore left the game against Mississippi State in the opening minute after landing awkwardly and will not return.

  • Alex Condon, Florida's 6-foot-11 sophomore forward, suffered a right ankle injury 30 seconds into the game against Mississippi State and was unable to put weight on it as he left the court.
  • Condon, recently named SEC Player of the Week, has been a key player for the Gators, averaging 11.0 points, 8.1 rebounds, and 1.5 blocks this season.
  • The injury occurred after Condon landed awkwardly on another player's foot during Florida's first offensive possession of the game.
  • Florida was already missing starting guard Alijah Martin, the team's leading scorer, due to a hip injury sustained last week, leaving the team without two of its top players.
  • Sophomore forward Thomas Haugh stepped into a larger role in Condon's absence, as the Gators adjusted their lineup during the game.
