It’s good to see Williams is going to be okay. It’s always very scary whenever anybody collapses for no apparent reason.
You could clearly tell in the video that he was struggling big time as he was helped off of the court.

It was also pretty classy from the Clemson crowd to show their support for Williams as he got help. There are lot of idiots in college sports fandoms, and I wouldn’t have been surprised at all if some people had starting booing.
Luckily, that wasn’t the case. Let’s all hope this was just a one off incident, and Williams will return better than ever.
