GAINESVILLE — Florida basketball star Keyontae Johnson remains hopeful he will play next season for the Gators, but doctors first must clear the 21-year-old due to uncertainty about his health.
Johnson announced Wednesday on his Twitter account he will continue to work on his game and does not plan to enter the 2021 NBA Draft.
The post was the most encouraging news from Johnson since his scary collapse during a Dec. 12 contest at Florida State led to his hospitalization for nine days and ultimately forced him to watch the 2020-21 season from the sideline.
“I am progressing & steadily making progress daily in my health,” Johnson wrote.
