Auburn star Johni Broome leaves game with ankle injury during win over South Carolina

Auburn's star center Johni Broome left the game against South Carolina with a sprained left ankle in the second half. He was unable to put weight on his foot and was helped off the court. Broome, a key player for the No. 2 Tigers, leads the team in scoring, rebounding, blocks, and assists. Coach Bruce Pearl described the injury as a "significant sprain," and Broome will have an MRI upon returning to Auburn. Despite Broome's injury, Auburn secured a 66-63 victory. The team may need to adjust if he is sidelined, as he is a crucial part of their lineup and has been performing at a high level this season.
