Florida's Keyontae Johnson Rejoins Team, Works as Coach in Practice

Forward Keyontae Johnson has rejoined Florida's basketball team and is helping coach in practice amid his recovery, coach Mike White told reporters on Monday.

Johnson was released from the hospital last week, 10 days after collapsing in a game against Florida State.

"Johnson is back with us and doing well," White told reporters. "We're extremely grateful and thankful to everyone in this country and throughout the world who prayed for him."

The Gators returned to practice on Sunday following a 15-day break, and Johnson blew a whistle at one point while helping coach his teammates.
