On Saturday afternoon, Florida guard Kenny Boynton suffered an ankle injury during the Gators' Field of 32 match-up against UCLA. Late in the second half, Boynton rose up for a three-point attempt, but fell awkwardly and appeared to roll his ankle.

After spending a few moments on the ground in obvious pain, Boynton gingerly walked off the court. He returned to play a couple of minutes later, but was soon relegated to the bench for good. The CBS broadcast crew reported that Boynton had suffered a sprained ankle. Minutes later, Florida won, 73-65, to reach the Sweet 16.
An ankle sprain, of course, can vary widely in severity. The fact that Boynton returned to the game, if only briefly, ought to encourage optimism amongst Florida fans.
Boynton, a sophomore, scored 12 points and recorded five assists on Saturday.During the 2010-11 season, he’s been the Gators’ second-leading scorer.
