Overview

• Alex Condon, Florida's leading rebounder, re-injured his right ankle less than eight minutes into the Sweet 16 game against Maryland while diving for a loose ball.
• Condon was taken to the locker room and underwent precautionary x-rays before spending halftime riding a stationary bike and testing his condition with practice shots.
• He was held out for the remainder of the first half and the start of the second half but ultimately returned to the game later in the second half.
• Florida's coaching staff emphasized caution in managing Condon's condition as the team advances in the NCAA tournament.
• The Gators continue to face challenges with player availability, including the absence of leading scorer Alijah Martin due to a hip injury earlier in the season.
