Florida's Micah Handlogten Returns After 2024 Leg Injury

The Gators' 7-foot-1 center rejoins the team to bolster their depleted frontcourt as they aim for a championship run.

Micah Handlogten, Florida's 7-foot-1 junior center, will return to play after recovering from a severe leg injury sustained during the 2024 SEC Tournament.
Handlogten chose to forgo a medical redshirt and will make his season debut on Saturday against South Carolina, helping the Gators address injuries in their frontcourt.
Florida is currently ranked No. 3 with a 21-3 record but is dealing with key injuries, including starter Alex Condon and reserve Sam Alexis, both sidelined with ankle sprains.
Handlogten's return adds depth and experience to a frontcourt that has struggled at times this season, with the player known for his rebounding and defensive skills.
The Gators are positioning themselves for a championship push with a talented and deep roster, despite recent injury challenges.
