Like most of his teammates, Johnson tested positive for COVID-19 during the summer. Although the cause of Johnson's ailment was not immediately known, the coronavirus can lead to myocarditis, a viral infection of the heart muscle.

Before the incident, Johnson had just finished an alley-oop on a pass from Tyree Appleby. He celebrated with teammates and walked toward the sideline; as the team broke its huddle, he collapsed on the court and players screamed toward the sideline for help.

Did COVID cause his injury? Pray for his recovery.

I read he is conscious today. There is video of the collapse and it is really haunting. He's walking and all of a sudden his body stops everything.

Even without covid, a lot of athletes suffer from hidden issues, like enlarged hearts. I read this morning that he's out of the induced coma and responding to simple commands. That's good news.
