Incoming University of Minnesota freshman basketball guard Jarvis Johnson, a former DeLaSalle star who suffers from a heart condition, will not be medically cleared to play this season, the Gophers announced Monday.
Johnson, a member of Minnesota's 2015 recruiting class, will remain on scholarship, attend the university and still be part of the program, Gophers coach Richard Pitino said in a statement.
"It has been determined that Jarvis will not be medically cleared to play basketball at the University of Minnesota," Johnson's family said in a statement. "While we are extremely disappointed, the health and welfare of Jarvis is our highest priority.
