Chance Westry - Shut down with knee issue Coach Bruce Pearl said Friday that Westry has been shut down for the rest of the season due to a right knee injury, Tom Green of AL.com reports.
Impact Westry underwent knee surgery in October and was initially cleared to play after six weeks, but he's had lingering issues over the past couple months and hasn't seen game action since Jan. 4. He's played in just 11 games this season and could qualify for a medical redshirt if those contests account for less than 30 percent of Auburn's total games, which isn't guaranteed given the regular-season schedule has 31 games.

Impact Auburn hosted three games from Jan. 14 to Feb. 1. Though one of Green's teammates logged point tallies better than he did each matchup, the Tigers junior was their best scorer during that span. The guard averaged 17.0 points on a 64.1 true shooting percentage.

Zep Jasper - Held scoreless against WVU Jasper posted zero points (0-1 FG) and one steal in 16 minutes during Saturday's 80-77 loss to West Virginia.
Impact While Jasper has started all 21 games this season for the Tigers, it hasn't led to much of an impact in the box score. The senior is averaging a career-low 3.5 ppg and has been held scoreless on four separate occasions this year. He's also shooting just 36.1 percent from the field and a career-low 30.4 percent from distance. On this particular Saturday, he conceded more time to sixth-man K.D. Johnson, who put up 10 in the losing effort.

K.D. Johnson - Scores 10 in narrow defeat Johnson closed with 10 points (4-9 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 1-3 FT), three rebounds, one assist and three steals in 24 minutes during Saturday's 80-77 loss to West Virginia.
Impact Johnson continues to serve in a combo-guard role for the Tigers, being utilized as the primary sixth man while able to fill in for both Wendell Green and Zep Jasper. He saw his highest minutes total of conference play Saturday, which resulted in his first double-digit scoring effort since Dec. 10. The junior guard remains on the fringes of fantasy relevance due to a deeper backcourt rotation that places an emphasis on defense.

Dylan Cardwell - Logs 12 minutes off bench Cardwell produced two points (1-1 FG), three rebounds and two assists in 12 minutes during Saturday's 80-77 loss to West Virginia.
Impact The junior struggled to find any shot attempts in Saturday's loss to West Virginia, as he only attempted one field goal. The 6-foot-11 center has come in for rebounding purposes for Auburn, but only grabbed three rebounds Saturday. Cardwell is averaging 3.9 points and 4.0 rebounds this season and will continue to see a bench role for the Tigers.
JANUARY 30, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Jaylin Williams - Impresses despite loss Williams logged 18 points (7-11 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 3-4 FT), five rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal across 32 minutes during Saturday's 80-77 loss to West Virginia.
Impact The 6-foot-8 forward has a very impressive outing despite falling to West Virginia on Saturday. The senior had 18 points and did so while shooting 63.6 percent from the field. Williams is averaging 11.1 points and 5.2 rebounds this season and should continue to be a physical force as he is one of Auburn's top scoring options.
JANUARY 30, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Lior Berman - Logs 10 minutes off bench Berman contributed three points (1-2 FG, 1-1 3Pt) across 10 minutes during Saturday's 80-77 loss to West Virginia.
Impact The senior saw 10 minutes off the bench in Saturday's loss to West Virginia. The guard wasn't able to find an offensive rhythm, but was able to hit his only attempted three point shot. Berman will continue to have a bench role for Auburn.
