Florida's Keyontae Johnson Is in Medically-Induced Coma, Grandfather Says

Florida forward Keyontae Johnson is in a medically-induced coma after collapsing on the court in last Saturday's game, according to his grandfather.

Johnson's grandfather, Larry DeJarnett, provided the update during a phone interview with USA Today on Monday. DeJarnett said his grandson was transported to Gainesville, Fla., on Monday and doctors hoped to bring Johnson out of the coma in the afternoon.

"They’re just not sure," DeJarnett told USA Today. "He may have had activity in the brain, so they induced the coma. They put him on medication to keep him sedated.
