Florida sophomore forward Adam Allen suffered a setback on Friday when he sustained a sprained knee. He had an MRI on Friday night, which didn't show any additional damage.
"It looks like it's a significant sprain and he'll probably be out about a week right now,"
Gators coach Billy Donovan said on Saturday. "I watched the film and he didn't land that awkwardly, but he kind of came up."
Donovan said Allen was playing well before the injury.
"Adam has done a good job and Adam's a physical, tough and strong kid, but with him being out right now that makes it more difficult as well,"
Donovan said. "Adam was doing well. He is what he is. He's a phenomenal shooter, a great kid and a great teammate and a guy that gives you everything he has."
The Gators' coach also noted that Allen has to battle other problems to stay on the court that some don't.
"Adam has been battling the last two years . . . he does have some asthma where he's always battling and trying to get in great shape,"
Donovan said. " The one thing about Adam is that he always gives you everything he has and, as a coach, you're so much of the time coaching effort -- let's get going. You're never coaching effort with Adam, which is something you wish all your players would be like that."
