JOHNI BROOME NEWS

No signs of ankle trouble Broome amassed 18 points (9-17 FG), 13 rebounds, five blocks and two steals in 20 minutes during Tuesday's 89-65 win over Winthrop.

Impact Broome has been questionable to play in all three contests this year due to an ankle injury, but he's ultimately started each of those games and performed admirably. Tuesday was his best performance despite seeing a season-low minutes total, as he needed just 20 minutes to record the double-double. Broome has also accumulated nine rejections through three games, representing another major boost to his fantasy value.

Available vs. Winthrop Broome (ankle) is available Tuesday versus Winthrop, according to Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports.

Impact Fantasy managers should expect Broome to be the Tigers' starting center, like he was across their first two games (vs. USF and George Mason) of November. He logged 15 points and 14 rebounds during his two-matchup span.

Game-time decision Tuesday Broome is a game-decision Tuesday due to an ankle injury, Justin Ferguson of AuburnObserver.com reports.

Blocks four shots Broome (ankle) logged 12 points (5-11 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-4 FT), six rebounds, four blocks, two steals and one assist across 25 minutes during a 70-52 win Monday versus George Mason.

Impact Broome's latest log is expected to be a preview of his Tigers career. They signed him so he could replace Walker Kessler, who averaged 4.6 blocks there before declaring for the 2022 NBA Draft. Fantasy managers should expect Broome to be a shot blocker talented like his predecessor was.

In starting five Monday Broome (ankle) is starting in Monday's season opener against George Mason, per Justin Ferguson of AuburnObserver.com.

Impact Broome was considered questionable to play in Auburn's season opener after injuring his ankle and being spotted in a walking boot Wednesday. The 6-foot-10 sophomore missed practice Friday, but his ability to make it onto the floor for Monday's opening tip indicates he should be good to go this regular season. Broome started all 34 games for the Tigers last season, recording 16.8 points, 10.5 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 3.9 blocks over 28.2 minutes per game.

Warming up ahead of opener Broome (ankle) is participating in pregame shootaround ahead of Monday's game against George Mason, Justin Ferguson of AuburnObserver.com reports.

Impact This is a good sign for Broome's chances to go in the opener. He has been dealing with an ankle injury of late and been unable to practice. Broome is expected to be a big factor this season for coach Bruce Pearl. He averaged 16.8 points, 10.5 rebounds, and 3.9 blocks per game a year ago with Morehead State.

Questionable to play Monday Auburn coach Bruce Pearl said Broome (ankle) probably won't practice Friday but might play in Monday's season opener versus George Mason, Tom Green of AL.com reports.

Impact Broome has been in a walking boot since Wednesday due to an injured ankle. The 6-foot-10 big man is expected to start at center for Auburn after transferring from Morehead State. If Broome is unable to play Monday, his next opportunity will be next Friday against South Florida.

Dealing with ankle injury Broome (ankle) has not been able to put much weight on his ankle, Nathan King of 247Sports.com reports.

Impact Broome has missed practices recently while nursing the ankle injury. The forward was not able to put much weight on the injured ankle on Wednesday and his status for Monday's season-opener is uncertain. It is unclear whether Broome will be able to play in the season-opener, though his inability to practice recently is not a good sign. The Tigers play four games over the next two weeks, giving Broome plenty of opportunity to return if the injury is not long term.

Stands out for Tigers overseas Broome had performances of 17, 18 and 18 points during Auburn's three-game foreign tour that featured three exhibition matchups against the Israeli National Team.

Impact Broome was heralded by many as the standout performer of these international contests, as in addition to the scoring, he averaged 8.0 rebounds and shot 69.4 percent from the field. On top of that, he impressed the crowd with several thunderous dunks and blocks. The defensive aspect in particular will be attractive to prospective fantasy managers now that he's in a power conference, as Broome averaged 3.9 rejections per contest last year along with a nation-leading block rate. Broome did get his NBA draft stock tested this offseason, but ultimately decided to stick to Auburn, where all signs are pointing to him beginning the year as the starting center.
