Klavzar Returns, Boosts Gators' Backcourt

0:00On March 27th, Florida Gators' men's basketball fans have some good news this off-season. Junior Guard Urban Clavesar announced he's returning for the 2026-27 season. The Slovenian standout earned SEC 6-man of the year honors after averaging 9.6 points per game, with sharp shooting from deep at over. 40%. This year marked a big step up for Clavesar. He went from limited spot minutes as a freshman to 20.7 minutes per game off the bench. Drawing on his high-level experience in Europe, he brought confidence and aggression that made him the team's top long-range threat. Clavesar's return boosted the back court stability. He's the second guard committing to stay, following sophomore Boogie Flan's announcement earlier the same day. Both players love Gainesville and want to chase a championship after last season's tough second-round exit. His impact showed in key stretches like Florida's 11-game win streak to close the regular season, where he drained plenty of threes.

1:01Keeping reliable shooters like him sets up a strong offense heading into next year. Now the Gators wait on three more decisions from potential NBA prospects. Thomas Hall, Alex Condon, and Rubin Cignelu as Coach Todd Golden builds for another deep run.
