Gator awaits clearance

Florida’s Keyontae Johnson is “patiently waiting” on medical clearance while hoping to play next season. Johnson, a junior forward who collapsed on the court in December and spent 10 days in hospitals, added Wednesday that he has decided not to enter the NBA Draft. The SEC’s preseason player of the year slammed facefirst to the floor seconds after coming out of a timeout during a Dec. 12 game at Florida State. Teammates, coaches, opponents and fans watched in shock as Johnson became a trauma patient. His family said in early February that his medical condition was not related to a previous positive covid-19 test. The family did not say what doctors believe caused Johnson to crumple with no warning.
