New Mexico forward Devon Williams has feeling in all of his extremities after collapsing on the court Sunday against New Mexico State.

Lobos head coach Craig Neal told ESPN's Andy Katz on Monday morning that Williams was kept in hospital overnight and is out indefinitely after suffering a cervical spinal cord contusion.

With just over 11 minutes remaining in the contest, Williams was reportedly lying face down on the floor before being stretchered off by paramedics.

The redshirt junior averaged 6.7 points and 3.4 rebounds per game last season with the Lobos.
