Florida loses leading scorer Colin Castleton to broken hand Florida forward Colin Castleton is sidelined indefinitely after sustaining a broken right hand in a 79-64 victory over Ole Miss on Wednesday...
Myreon Jones - Season-high 15 points in win Jones produced 15 points (5-7 FG, 5-7 3Pt, 0-1 FT), eight rebounds, one assist and two steals in 36 minutes during Wednesday's 79-64 victory over Ole Miss.
Impact The senior was lights out from three-point range, knocking down five of his seven attempts in Wednesday's win over Ole Miss. The guard also contributed on the board, as he marked eight rebounds, two shy of a double-double. This game could definitely be a confidence booster moving forward, so expect Jones to continue to become a long-range threat for opposing teams moving forward.

Will Richard - Solid performance in win Richard had 13 points (5-7 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and three rebounds in 27 minutes during Wednesday's 79-64 win over Ole Miss.
Impact The 6-foot-4 guard was great from the field shooting 71.4 percent on seven field goal attempts, well also knocking one down from beyond the three-point line. Richard is averaging 10.3 points and 4.4 rebounds in 27.8 minutes per game this season. Expect him to continue to contribute offensively for the Gators.

Kowacie Reeves - Logs 13 points off bench Reeves finished with 13 points (5-9 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 1-5 FT) and two steals across 18 minutes during Wednesday's 79-64 victory over Ole Miss.
Impact The sophomore has been impressive off the bench in his last two outings for the Gators, averaging 13.5 points in both games. The guard has brought explosive offense through the second unit and should continue to do so moving forward for Florida.

Colin Castleton - Likely out for season Castleton (hand) is expected to sit out the remainder of Florida's 2022-23 regular season, Sam Vecenie of The Athletic reports.
Impact There is not much left of the 2022-23 regular season, and Castleton's injury is severe enough that it is unlikely he will recover before its conclusion. He will have averaged 16.0 points, 7.7 rebounds and 2.7 assists across 26 regular-season games during his third year at Florida. Castleton could return if the Gators can make it far in tournament play. But even if they do, his return is more of a long shot than not.
