Spotted in walking boot Cooper (ankle) was spotted on the sideline Tuesday during Auburn's 74-57 loss to Florida with his injured left ankle in a walking boot, Brian Stultz of USA Today reports. Impact After picking up the injury in Saturday's loss to LSU, Cooper was ruled out ahead of Tuesday's contest, but Auburn hasn't commented on his status beyond that. The fact that he's in a walking boot wouldn't seem to be a positive sign for his odds of playing this weekend against Tennessee, and the star freshman could elect to shut himself down entirely while he prepares for a likely move to the NBA next season. Devan Cambridge, Jaylin Williams and JT Thor should all take on increased usage for however long Cooper is sidelined.
