GAINESVILLE — Florida’s visit Wednesday to Tennessee has been postponed due to issues with COVID-19 within the Gators’ men’s basketball program.
The No. 22 Gators’ trip Saturday to LSU also was postponed, preventing White’s squad from shaking off last week’s surprising 72-66 home loss to South Carolina.
A combination of positive tests, contact tracing and subsequent quarantining of individuals have sidelined the Gators (10-5, 6-4 SEC), the SEC announced Friday.
The Gators have, however, had their issues with the virus, dating to this summer when several players contracted COVID-19. Sophomore guard Scottie Lewis recently sat out four games while in quarantine.
