Kerron Johnson, the former Belmont basketball star stuck in Romania due to COVID-related travel restrictions, has made it back to the United States.
In a phone interview with Yahoo Sports, Johnson said he got on a return flight Saturday in part because of a travel tip provided by the publicity surrounding his circumstance.
Johnson got back to his hometown of Huntsville, Alabama, at about 9:30 p.m. on Saturday and was surprised by his wife, Gina, at the curbside pick-up area. They only waved to one another, as they won’t see each other for 14 days because Johnson is quarantining.
