John Calipari: If Keyontae Johnson collapsing is related to COVID-19, coaches want to know

LEXINGTON - Kentucky basketball coach John Calipari flashed back almost 25 years when he heard Florida junior forward Keyontae Johnson had collapsed during the Gator's game against Florida State

While coaching at UMass, Calipari experienced a similar situation when star Marcus Camby collapsed before a January 1996 game against St. Bonaventure. Calipari did not coach in the game, instead accompanying Camby to a local hospital.

"They never found out what it was," Calipari said Thursday when asked about his reaction to Johnson's medical emergency. "...The rest of the season, I was really conscious of him, especially when he first came back.
