Georgia (7-2) had used up to 12 players in games this season, but White only brought his three remaining scholarship players off the bench last Friday. “A few of our guys, a few of our staff members. “We’re following the correct protocol, we’re doing what we’re supposed to do, but there’s stuff everywhere,” White said. White wore a mask on the bench and his postgame press conference for two games last week, but didn’t to his media availability on Monday. Center Frank Anselem, a Syracuse transfer who has started three games this season, was to miss Monday practice so may he not play in the 7 p.m. Roberts, who averages 14.0 points, a team-leading 4.2 assists and 4.8 rebounds per game, was cleared to practice Monday if the Bradley transfer felt well enough. Oquendo took part in practice Monday, according to photos posted on the team's Twitter account. They gave it a go during shootaround Friday but didn’t play. Oquendo (lower body contusion) and forward Matthew Alexander-Moncrieffe (ankle) missed the last two games. White said he wasn’t sure who would practice Monday, but said he had seven or eight players go Sunday. Guards Terry Roberts and Kario Oquendo, the team’s top scorers and leaders in minutes played, sat out Friday’s game against overmatched Florida A&M in an 68-46 rout.

“We’ve had a lot of stuff here with bumps and bruises and with illnesses lately” White said before the team practiced on Monday afternoon.
