Florida might not have the services of freshman guard Nimrod Tishman and sophomore forward Adam Allen to start the season, according to CBSsports.com.
Tishman is ready to practice with the Gators, but the NCAA has not yet cleared him to play. Coach Billy Donovan plucked Tishman from an Israeli team, and the NCAA is still investigating his amateur status to clear him for collegiate eligibility.
Allen figures to miss most of the season because of a nagging knee injury. He has scar tissue in his knee that causes pain when he puts pressure on it.
