Abdur-Rahim Uncertain for SEC Tournament
Jabri Abdur-Rahim (foot) did not play during Georgia’s game Saturday at Auburn. Considered day-to-day before the Auburn game, Abdur-Rahim ended up logging his second consecutive absence instead. Now, Abdur-Rahim runs the risk of not playing again during Georgia’s 2023-24 season unless he participates in the 2024 SEC Tournament.
