Alex Condon Leaves Game with Ankle Injury

Florida Gators forward Alex Condon suffered a right ankle injury just 30 seconds into the game against Mississippi State, ruling him out for the night. Condon's injury adds to the team's challenges, as they were already without guard Alijah Martin due to a hip pointer. He had been a standout player for Florida, recently earning SEC Player of the Week honors after averaging 18 points and 9.5 rebounds in two games, including a significant victory against then-No. 1 Auburn. Condon, who averages 11 points and 8.1 rebounds this season, was unable to put weight on his injured ankle and was taken to the locker room by trainers. The Gators are now left without two of their top four scorers, complicating their strategy as they aim to maintain their strong season record. This injury marks the fourth significant one for the Gators this season, further straining their roster depth.
