People on Twitter are questioning the decision to keep playing the basketball game. I’m sure it’s impossible for the Florida Gators to focus on the game while their thoughts are very much with Keyontae Johnson.
Keyontae Johnson collapsed on the floor coming out of a timeout, and he was stretchered off of the floor.
The Florida players are in tears on the floor right now. How do you continue this game?

A player collapses and you continue to play the game? How could you expect a team to even play when they don’t know if their teammate is alright? Shit is crazy. #keyontaejohnson #gators

Keyontae Johnson is by far the best player on the Gators, and one of the best players in the nation. Johnson got off to a monster start in 2020, averaging 19.7 points and six rebounds a game this season. Obviously basketball isn’t important right now, but this kid is someone who appears to have bright future in the sport.
Thoughts and prayers to Keyontae Johnson, we’ll keep our eyes peeled for updates on this situation throughout the day.
