Florida’s Keyontae Johnson released from hospital, to spend Christmas with family

Keyontae Johnson is coming home.

Ten days after his shocking collapse on the floor of the Donald L. Tucker Center in Tallahassee and three days before Christmas, the Florida Gators forward is being released from UF Shands Hospital — and will spend Christmas with his family, according to an update from the Johnson family released through Florida’s men’s basketball program.

In addition to the great news about Johnson being able to leave the hospital — something that was far from most minds in the first hours and days after his collapse, as he spent a weekend at Tallahassee Memorial Hospital in “stable but critical condition” — the statement includes the important detail that Johnson’s family is “committed to sharing not only updates on Keyontae but also any information we think could help others.
