Florida State is optimistic that Chris Florida Singleton will return this season from a foot injury.

"He's getting awful, awful close," coach Leonard Hamilton said. "I don't know whether he'll be ready for Friday but I don't know that he won't. He's awful close. [He has] been doing some noncontact stuff that looks very promising.

"He hasn't had any setbacks, hasn't had any pain."

Singleton leads Florida State in scoring (13.1) and rebounds (7.1). He broke his right foot in the win over Virginia on Feb. 12 and immediately had surgery.
