Florida men’s basketball senior guard Xaivian Lee has been named co-Southeastern Conference Player of the Week, the SEC announced on Monday. Lee shares the honor with Dailyn Swain of Texas.
 
Lee posted 18 points and seven assists with no turnovers to lead the Gators to victory at Georgia last Wednesday. He scored or assisted on 14 of UF’s 32 field goals in the game (44%). In Saturday’s win vs. 25th-ranked Kentucky, Lee led five Gators in double figures with 22 points. He made his first four 3-point attempts vs. UK, finishing 4-7 (.571) from beyond the arc, tying his season-high, and good for a 79 true shooting percentage. The win kept Florida at a perfect 6-0 vs. ranked SEC opponents this season.
 
With the honor, Florida has had a program-record and SEC-record-tying fourth different player win SEC Player of the Week honors. Lee, Thomas Haugh, Rueben Chinyelu and Alex Condon have all earned the recognition, joining 2023-24 Texas A&M, 2010-11 Vanderbilt and 2007-08 Tennessee among programs with four different honorees in a season.
 
The Gators return to the floor Tuesday vs. South Carolina at 7 p.m.
