Devon Williams of New Mexico Lobos ends basketball career after collapse

New Mexico forward Devon Williams' college basketball career is over.

The junior forward collapsed during Sunday night's win at New Mexico State in what was determined to be a neck injury. He had collided with a teammate. He lay face down for nearly 10 minutes before being taken off the court on a stretcher.

Williams was taken to a Las Cruces hospital where he was initially diagnosed with a cervical spinal cord bruise. It was later determined he has spinal stenosis, which is a narrowing of the spinal canal.
