Stricken Florida Gators basketball player Keyontae Johnson is back with the team as an observer and even a quasi-coach, coach Mike White said Monday.
Johnson attended the team’s practices Sunday, their first in 15 days since the star forward’s Dec. 12 collapse at Florida State left Johnson in critical but stable condition at a Tallahassee hospital.
“Keyontae Johnson is back with us and doing well,” White said during Monday’s SEC teleconference. “He’s helping us coaching. He even blew a whistle.”
The 21-year-old continues on his road to recovery, but White did not share any details of Johnson’s medical condition, saying those updates would come from the player’s parents.
