GAINESVILLE, Fla. — Florida guard Urban Klavzar, who played 13 games at Catholic University of Murcia in Spain during the 2022-23 season, has been cleared to play by the NCAA. Coach Todd Golden says Klavzar will make his collegiate debut when the 20th-ranked Gators play at Florida State on Friday. Golden says part of the NCAA ruling is that Klavzar will be a sophomore instead of a freshman during the 2024-25 season. The 6-foot-1 Klavzar also spent time with a professional team in Spain, Real Madrid, but that did not affect his eligibility. He sat out Florida's first three games while awaiting NCAA clearance.
