Alex Condon injury update: Florida forward set to return "barring any setbacks" ahead of SEC matchup

Florida Gators forward Alex Condon has been on the sidelines since Feb. 11 due to injury. However, the program might be getting him back soon.

During the team's weekly news conference on Monday, Gators coach Todd Golden said that Condon will play in the team's Tuesday matchup against the Georgia Bulldogs.

Condon sprained his ankle in the first minute of Florida's contest against the Mississippi State Bulldogs on Feb. 11, missing the next three games. He is averaging 10.6 points, 7.8 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 1.4 blocks on 50.3% shooting from the field, including 35.2% from 3-point range.

“Alex is doing great, to be honest. He’s moving around really, really well. Tomorrow night’s not out of the question,” Golden said Friday before the team beat the LSU Tigers on Saturday. “I think it’s probably more of a longer shot, but it’s definitely not out of the question.

"So, we’ll see how he does in practice today. He’ll probably receive a doubtful or questionable tag, depending on how practice goes.”
