To miss rest of season Johnson (undisclosed) will miss the rest of the season with a heart issue, Zach Abolverdi of the Gainesville Sun reports. Impact This was expected, as Johnson has had a long and hard road home since collapsing on the court against Florida State on Dec. 12. It's reported that the junior has been diagnosed with a heart inflammation that may have been related to an earlier infection with COVID-19. The devastating and heartbreaking news ends the SEC Preseason Player of the Year's season way too early; the forward was off to a superb start averaging 16.0 points, 4.5 rebounds and 1.3 assists over the first four games of the year. The Gators will now likely count on Scottie Lewis, Noah Locke and Tre Mann to lead the offense with Johnson out for the rest of the 2020-21 campaign.
