Florida's Micah Handlogten stretchered out of SEC championship after horrific leg injury

Micah Handlogten, Florida's 7-foot-1 center, sustained a serious leg injury during the SEC championship game against Auburn.

The injury happened during the first half, when Handlogten took a hard fall. Initial reports indicate it's an issue with his shin or ankle.

The arena fell silent after Handlogten went down, with Florida players — some in tears — huddling together while the trainers worked on their teammate's leg. Handlogten's family quickly came down onto the court to be with him. Auburn players kneeled and said a prayer.
