Fudge suffered a head harm within the first minute of the second half towards Mississippi State on Saturday, hitting his head on the hardwood. The Jacksonville, Fla., native did not return.
Now, because the Gators look to win their sixth sport within the final seven appearances, head coach Todd Golden up to date Fudge’s standing.
“Alex is day-to-day,” he mentioned throughout media availability on Tuesday. “I do not suppose we’ll see him tomorrow evening.
“He did not follow yesterday and we’ll see how he is doing in just a little bit right here. We’re not going to get him again on the market till he is prepared from a well being standpoint to assist us win.”
Fudge is averaging 7.5 factors, 5.1 rebounds and 0.8 blocks per contest this season in 22 minutes per sport.

“He is performed rather a lot for us and doing rather well,” Golden mentioned in regards to the LSU switch.
Within the chance he cannot go, Golden mentioned he feels comfy with the inclusion of Will Richard on the 4 with both Kowacie Reeves Jr. or Riley Kugel on the three. That “small ball” lineup has aided the Gators to search out an offensive spark at factors within the final two contests.
“Yeah, their capability to protect a number of positions, actually something one via 4 they will guard, that is given us an enormous raise in convention play,” Golden mentioned.
“The truth that we are able to play these lineups and be nearly as good as we have been beforehand defensively and fairly rattling near being nearly as good as we have been on the glass permits us to play with extra space offensively, I believe that is type of an enormous motive as to why we have been in a position to get going just a little bit.”
Florida hopes to get the proficient ahead again within the lineup earlier than enduring a tough stretch of highly-ranked opponents over the subsequent two-plus weeks.
The Gators will tip-off versus the Gamecocks at 7 p.m. EST on Wednesday.

Alabama puts man to death in the country's second nitrogen gas execution
ATMORE, Ala. — Alabama used nitrogen gas Thursday to execute a man convicted of killing three people in back-to-back workplace shootings, the second time the method that has generated debate about its humaneness has been used in the country.
Alan Eugene Miller, 59, was pronounced dead at 6:38 p.m. local time at a south Alabama prison. He shook and trembled on the gurney for about two minutes with his body at times pulling against the restraints. That was followed by about six minutes of periodic gulping breaths before he became still.
Miller was convicted of killing three men — Lee Holdbrooks, Christopher Scott Yancy and Terry Jarvis — in 1999 and the state had previously attempted to execute him by lethal injection in 2022.
“I didn’t do anything to be in here,” Miller said in his final words that were at times muffled by the blue-rimmed gas mask that covered his face from forehead to chin. However, witnesses at the trial had expressed no doubt about his guilt, describing Miller shooting the three men.
At the execution, Miller also asked his family and friends to “take care” of someone but it was not clear whose name he said.
Miller was one of five inmates put to death in the span of one week, an unusually high number that defies a yearslong trend of decline in the use of the death penalty in the U.S.
“Tonight, justice was finally served for these three victims through the execution method elected by the inmate,” Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey said in a statement. “His acts were not that of insanity, but pure evil. Three families were forever changed by his heinous crimes, and I pray that they can find comfort all these years later.”
Family members of the three victims did not witness the execution and did not issue a statement to be read to reporters, state officials said.
The execution was the second to use the new method Alabama first employed in January, when Kenneth Smith was put to death. The method involves placing a respirator gas mask over the inmate’s face to replace breathable air with pure nitrogen gas, causing death by lack of oxygen.
Alabama officials and advocates have argued over whether Smith suffered an unconstitutional level of pain during his execution after he shook in seizure-like spasms for several minutes, at times rocking the gurney. Smith then gasped for breath for several minutes. The shaking exhibited by Miller was similar to what was seen at the first nitrogen gas execution but did not seem as long or as violent.
Alabama Corrections Commissioner John Q. Hamm said the shaking movements were anticipated.
“Just like in Smith we talked about there is going to be involuntarily body movements as the body is depleted of oxygen. So that was nothing we did not expect,” Hamm said.
Hamm said the nitrogen gas flowed for 15 minutes during the execution.
“Everything went according to plan and according to our protocol,” he said.
A delivery truck driver, Miller was convicted of capital murder for the Aug. 5, 1999, shootings that claimed three lives and shocked the city of Pelham, a suburban city just south of Birmingham.
Police say that early that morning, Miller entered Ferguson Enterprises and fatally shot two co-workers: Holdbrooks, 32, and Yancy, 28. He then drove 5 miles (8 kilometers) away to Post Airgas, where he had previously worked, and shot Jarvis, 39. Trial testimony indicated that Miller was paranoid and believed his co-workers had been gossiping about him.
“You’ve been spreading rumors about me,” a witness described Miller as saying before he opened fire. All three men were shot multiple times.
Miller had initially pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity but later withdrew the plea. A psychiatrist hired by the defense said that Miller was mentally ill but his condition wasn’t severe enough to use as a basis for an insanity defense, according to court documents. Jurors convicted Miller after 20 minutes of deliberation and recommended by a vote of 10-2 that he receive the death penalty.
In 2022, the state called off the previous attempt to execute Miller after being unable to connect an IV line to the 351-pound (159-kilogram) inmate. Miller had initially challenged the nitrogen gas protocol but dropped his lawsuit after reaching an undisclosed settlement with the state.
Hamm said the state did not change the protocol. Miller, among other things, had requested to be given a sedative. Hamm declined to say if Miller was given a sedative and referred questions about the settlement to Miller’s attorneys.
