Johnson’s Grandfather Larry DeJarnett spoke with USA TODAY Sports confirming the basketball player’s condition.
He said Keyontae Johnson had been transported from Tallahassee to Gainesville, where the University of Florida is located.
Keyontae’s grandfather said the plan to wake the hoops star from the coma Monday afternoon is not set in stone because it’s such a fluid situation.
They’re [the doctors are] just not sure. He may have had activity in the brain, so they induced the coma. They put him on medication to keep him sedated. – TMZ
Why Did Keyontae Collapse?
Keyontae had tested positive for COVID this past summer. It appears one of the side effects was myocarditis … inflammation of the heart muscle.
He’s in critical but stable condition. We wish him well.
