During Thursday night’s exhibition game against Jacksonville University, Gator basketball’s senior point guard Chris Chiozza sprained his left shoulder.
According to FloridaGators.com, within the first minute of the game is when the injury occurred. Chiozza doubled over in pain but tried to continue playing. However, he was on the bench not long after the injury took place. He was looked over by trainer Dave Werner and cleared to return to the game.
Yet, two possessions later, Chiozza left the game and watched the remainder from the bench.
Exhibition Game
Florida’s performance was impressive in last night’s game as they blew out JU winning 88-47.
Forward Jalen Hudson led Florida putting up 21 points, followed by graduate-transfer forward Egor Koulechov and junior KeVaughn Allen who had 17 points each.
What’s Next
Florida plays their last exhibition game this Sunday at home against the Tampa Spartans at 2 p.m. And they are just 10 days away from their season-opener at home against the Gardner-Webb Bulldogs on November 13 at 7 p.m.
Heading into this weekend, head coach Mike White said that Chiozza will have more tests to determine the extent of his injury.
