Johnson was given emergency medical attention on the court and then taken to the locker room.

Reports say that Johnson was celebrating with teammates before collapsing.

Officials decided to continue the game after Johnson was placed onto a stretcher and taken off the court.

“Keyontae Johnson is being taken to a local hospital for further evaluation, and we’ll share an update when we can,” Florida men’s basketball said in a statement.

A Florida spokesman said Johnson is in critical but stable condition at Tallahassee Memorial Hospital.
