UF's Johnson joins portal, hopes to play again

GAINESVILLE, Fla. — One-time Florida basketball star Keyontae Johnson wants to play basketball again, but it won't be with the Gators.

More than 16 months after a major health scare ended his playing career in Gainesville, Johnson has entered the transfer portal to explore his options.

UF doctors will not medically clear Johnson to return to the court due to continued uncertainty about what caused his collapse on the court Dec. 12, 2020, at Florida State.

At the time, Johnson was on track for a professional career and coming off an All-SEC season as a sophomore.
