Georgia basketball's leading scorer, Jeremiah Wilkinson, has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against Florida due to a shoulder injury. Wilkinson, a Cal transfer, is averaging 17.1 points per game and leads the team in steals. This will be the first game he has missed this season.

Why it matters

Wilkinson's absence is a significant blow for Georgia, as he is their top offensive threat. The Bulldogs will need to find other scoring options to compete against a strong Florida team, especially after Wilkinson struggled in the previous matchup between the two schools.

The details

Wilkinson was the only player listed on the availability report for either team ahead of Wednesday's game. He is shooting 41.9% from the field and 33.5% from 3-point range this season. In the Bulldogs' previous loss to Florida in January, Wilkinson scored a season-low 2 points on 1-of-9 shooting.

  • Wednesday's game will tip off at 7 p.m. ET and will be televised by ESPN2.
  • Wilkinson was ruled out on the Tuesday availability report.
