GAINESVILLE, Fla. -- Florida (No. 11 ESPN/USA Today, No. 12 AP) should have guard Mike Rosario available Tuesday night against Auburn after he missed the last three games with a hip pointer.

Rosario injured his hip earlier this month when he collided with a teammate in practice. He was cleared to practice last week, but re-aggravated the injury Friday and didn't travel with the team to Arkansas. Rosario had several rounds of treatment, and coach Billy Donovan says he should be available against the Tigers.

It's unclear whether Rosario, who is averaging 7.9 points a game, will play. Donovan says he is having discomfort and "he's really favoring it to the point where he's very, very leery of cutting and moving in certain ways."

Rosario has missed six games this season because of various injuries.
