Per <a href=\"https:\/\/www.on3.com\/user\/zachabolverdi\/\">Zach Abolverdi<\/a> of Gators Online, Handlogten has participated in practice and has been cleared to play, according to the team spokesman. But according to Golden it sounds as though Handlogten will take a redshirt and return next season.<\/p>\n<p>Handlogten, a 7-foot-1 junior who started, averaged 5.3 points and 6.9 rebounds while shooting 64.4 percent from the field in 33 appearances with 32 games started last season. The Gators currently are 18-2 overall, 5-2 in the SEC entering Saturday\u2019s game at No. 8 Tennessee. While Florida has one of the most complete and versatile lineups in the country, the potential addition of a player with Handlogten\u2019s size and skillset down the stretch would have added another element to an already stacked roster.<\/p>\n\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/www.on3.com\/teams\/florida-gators\/news\/florida-coach-todd-golden-updates-micah-handlogtens-status\/\">Florida coach Todd Golden updates Micah Handlogten\u2019s status<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.on3.com\/\">On3<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Florida starting center\u00a0Micah Handlogten, who has been out since he sustained a broken left leg&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-82147","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/demo.wztzfm.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/82147","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/demo.wztzfm.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/demo.wztzfm.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/demo.wztzfm.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=82147"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/demo.wztzfm.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/82147\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/demo.wztzfm.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=82147"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/demo.wztzfm.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=82147"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/demo.wztzfm.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=82147"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
