Florida men’s basketball player, Keyontae Johnson is in a medically induced coma after collapsing during a game over the weekend.

Johnson, 21,  collapsed during a Saturday game between the Gators and Florida State and was taken off the court on a stretcher and transported to Tallahassee Memorial Hospital.

His grandfather, Larry DeJarnett, told USA Today that Johnson has since been transported to Gainesville to continue his treatment and was placed in a coma on Monday.

“He may have had activity in the brain, so they induced the coma,” DeJarnett said. “They put him on medication to keep him sedated.”

Johnson, 21, who was voted the SEC’s preseason player of the year, was initially described as being in critical but stable condition when he was transported to Tallahassee Memorial Hospital.

It’s unclear what caused Johnson’s collapse with a diagnosis or prognosis yet to be provided.
