Florida forward Keyontae Johnson's collapse unrelated to COVID-19, family says

Florida forward Keyontae Johnson's collapse during a game two months ago was "not related to or a result of a previous or current" COVID-19 diagnosis, his family said in a statement Wednesday.

Johnson was rushed to a local hospital on Dec. 12 after falling face-first onto the court following a timeout in the first half of a game against Florida State in Tallahassee. He was listed in critical but stable condition, school officials said, before being airlifted back to a hospital in Gainesville with his mother by his side, where he slowly recovered and started to communicate with his family and friends in the days that followed.
