Auburn junior guard Allen Flanigan will miss time this season after undergoing a procedure to repair his right Achilles after suffering a non-basketball-related trauma recently.
“Allen is one of our top players and top players in the SEC,” Pearl said. “I’m disappointed for him but know he will do everything in his power to get back and lead us this season.”
Last year, Flanigan averaged 4.3 points, 5.5 rebounds and 2.9 assists while starting in all 27 games for Pearl’s Tigers.
“It’s an unfortunate situation, but I trust that God has a plan,” Flanigan said. “I’m going to work hard to get back stronger and better than ever.”
