There was some positive news regarding Keyontae Johnson, the Florida forward who collapsed on Saturday, with him in stable condition on Tuesday. Following the reports of his status, players around the NBA showed their support for Johnson on Twitter.

On Saturday, in a matchup against Florida State, Johnson caught an alley-oop, prompting Florida State to call a timeout. During the timeout, Johnson collapsed on the court, causing the medical staff to rush to his aid.

Johnson was immediately put onto a stretcher and was transported to a nearby hospital. The head coach at Florida refused to speak to the media after the game due to him going to the hospital to visit Johnson.

Then, on Monday, it was reported that Johnson was in a medically induced coma in the hospital. However, he's now in stable condition and is able to breathe on his own, which is a fantastic development. As a result, besides NBA players Trae Young, Georges Niang, Brandon Goodwin, and Tobias Harris— among others—all expressed their excitement for Johnson's recovery progress.
