Alex Condon Returns, Florida Adds Key Transfers

Florida forward Alex Condon has withdrawn from the 2025 NBA draft and will return for his junior season, bolstering the Gators' chances to defend their national championship. Condon, who averaged 10.6 points, 7.5 rebounds, and 1.3 blocks last season, earned third-team All-SEC honors and made key plays in the championship win over Houston. He cited the pursuit of back-to-back titles and strong team chemistry as reasons for his return. Coach Todd Golden has strengthened the roster with transfers Xaivian Lee, Boogie Fland, and AJ Brown to create a deeper and more versatile squad. Condon’s return solidifies Florida’s frontcourt and positions the Gators as a leading title contender. He aims to improve his strength and outside shooting to boost his NBA prospects.
