After missing Auburn basketball's win over No. 15 Mississippi State with an ankle injury, here's the latest on Johni Broome's status.

The Auburn forward is dealing with an ankle injury. Here is the latest updates ahead of Auburn’s game vs. Mississippi State.

Johni Broome has officially been ruled out for Auburn against the Georgia Bulldogs. The No. 23 Georgia Bulldogs are set to take on No. 1 Auburn in Athens on Saturday afternoon. The Tigers are currently undefeated in conference play while Georgia dropped their second game earlier this week on the road against Tennessee.

Auburn basketball came into the week with two ranked matchups and its best player, Johni Broome, sidelined by injury. Still, it got two more wins over ranked opponents. Here's how.

The record-breaking Neville Arena crowd cheered loudly as Auburn won the opening tip. It didn’t take long for Chaney Johnson -- Auburn’s 6-foot-7 forward who was filling in for the injured Johni Broome -- to get the ball on his way to the rim.

Five Auburn players scored in double figures and the host Tigers, the top-ranked team in the nation, survived their first test without their best player, Johni Broome, prevailing 88-66 over No. 15 Mississippi State on Tuesday.

Auburn was fine, though. Even though the Tigers had two games against ranked opponents — one at home, one on the road — and were without their best player (Johni Broome), they still completed a 2-0 week.
