Colin Castleton is back in action for the Florida men’s hoops team.

The Gators star player returned to the starting lineup Saturday vs. Ole Miss after missing the past six games with a shoulder injury.

Castleton was a game-time decision following Friday’s practice, where he worked in a limited capacity. After going through pre-game warmups and meeting with UF basketball trainer Duke Werner, Castleton received the green light to play against the Rebels.

The coaches’ preseason All-SEC first-team selection was leading the Gators in points (15.4), rebounds (9.1) and blocks (2.8) before getting injured during a one-on-one drill in practice Jan. 18, a day before the Mississippi State game.

Prior to that matchup, Castleton had scored in double figures for six straight games with five double-doubles on the season.
