Florida center Micah Handlogten, who gruesomely broke his left leg in the Southeastern Conference championship game last March, is returning to the court. Handlogten decided to forgo a redshirt and play this season. He will return Saturday against South Carolina. The 7-foot-1 junior will help the third-ranked Gators deal with the loss of starter Alex Condon, who is expected to miss a week or two with a sprained right ankle. Backup Sam Alexis also is sidelined with a sprained left ankle. Handlogten has been cleared for more than a month, and coach Todd Golden has said repeatedly that the player would have the final say in his return.
