Forward Alex Condon injured his right ankle in the opening minute and was ruled out of No. 3 Florida’s game against No. 22 Mississippi State on Tuesday night in Starkville, Miss.
Condon left the game at the 19:30 mark after landing awkwardly and possibly stepping on another player’s foot. He was replaced by sophomore forward Thomas Haugh.
A 6-foot-11 sophomore, Condon entered the game averaging 11.0 points, 8.1 rebounds and 2.5 assists with 34 total blocks in starting all 23 contests.
Condon was selected the Southeastern Conference Men’s Basketball Player of the Week on Monday. He had 17 points and 10 rebounds in 33 minutes in the Gators’ 90-81 win at No. 1 Auburn on Saturday. That followed his 19-point, nine-rebound effort in Florida’s 86-75 home victory over Vanderbilt on Feb. 4.
A native of Perth, Australia, Condon played in all 36 games (one start) last season and earned SEC All-Freshman honors. He averaged 7.7 points and 6.4 rebounds per game and led the team with 45 blocks.
