Florida PG Walter Clayton Jr. (ankle) sits vs. Vanderbilt

GAINESVILLE, Fla. -- Florida point guard Walter Clayton Jr. sat out Tuesday night's 86-75 win over Vanderbilt.

The sixth-ranked Gators ruled Clayton out about an hour before the opening tip. Denzel Aberdeen started in his place, and finished with 13 points, 3 assists and 2 rebounds.

Clayton rolled his ankle late in the first half of a lopsided loss at then-No. 8 Tennessee on Saturday. He returned to start the second half but slipped in front of the bench to give coach Todd Golden and his teammates another scare.
