Florida’s Keyontae Johnson rejoins the basketball team — as a coach: ‘Our guys are ready to move forward, not move on from Keyontae, but move forward with him’

GAINESVILLE, FLA. — Florida forward Keyontae Johnson is back with the team and working as a coach in practice, coach Mike White said Monday.

Johnson was released from the hospital last week, 10 days after collapsing on the court at Florida State and needing emergency medical attention.

White said “I have no idea” whether Johnson will be able to play again this season and added, “even if I did, I couldn’t talk about it” because of privacy laws.

The Gators (3-1) postponed four games following Johnson’s collapse and took 15 days off. They returned to practice Sunday and will get back on the court Wednesday night at Vanderbilt, the Southeastern Conference opener for both teams.
