*College basketball star Keyontae Johnson remains in a hospital after collapsing during a game on Saturday afternoon. As of Monday, the Florida Gators forward was placed in a medically-induced coma, though there was hope he would come out of it by the end of the day, according to the Daily Mail.

According to Gator’s Twitter account, which shared an update, that’s exactly what happened, with Johnson able to follow “simple commands” following the coma. Another development for Johnson was being transferred from Tallahassee Memorial Hospital in Tallahassee, where his Gators were playing a rivalry game against the Seminoles on Saturday, to UF Health in Gainesville, where the University of Florida is located.

Larry DeJarnett, Johnson’s grandfather, told USA Today Sports, “He may have had activity in the brain, so they induced the coma. They put him on medication to keep him sedated.”
