Justin Johnson spent two weeks locked in his home in Italy before hopping on a plane for the United States.
The last month has been surreal for the former Western Kentucky star who likely too soon finished his second season in Pistoia playing in Series A.
“Hung back for 14 days, but no one required me to do it,” Johnson said on WKU’s “Beyond the Hill” podcast series earlier this week. “The world is in a crazy place right now. Praying for my people back home in Italy and hoping it gets better in the states.”
Johnson played at WKU from 2014-18 and is one of five players to finish with at least 1,000 points and 1,000 rebounds for his career.
