According to a statement from Florida, Johnson is now getting medical care in Gainesville, and is responding to some simple commands. He remains in “critical, but stable condition.”

This move doesn’t surprise me at all, and it’s probably the right thing to do for Florida. The players need some time to process what’s going on.
They simply can’t go into Wednesday night and expect to be focused on playing basketball after what we witnessed Saturday.
Prayers up for Florida forward Keyontae Johnson! He just collapsed 4 minutes into the game!
Hopefully everything is ok! pic.twitter.com/jlCaC5WUlh

I think I speak for everyone when I say that we’re all pulling for Johnson. Star athletes aren’t supposed to be collapsing for no apparent reason at all.
It’s absolutely terrifying.
