Wednesday was a special day for Auburn Basketball, as the program welcomed scouts and personnel from 28 NBA franchises for their annual pro day workout.
Before the team showed off their skills in front of their potential future professional team, head coach [autotag]Bruce Pearl[/autotag] took time to speak with the media about his players, and the current happenings around his program. During his availability, he dropped the news that senior guard [autotag]Allen Flanigan[/autotag] has returned to campus after a two-week absence due to “personal family reasons,” and is working out with the team.
Flanigan took a step back last season after suffering a non-basketball-related injury to his achilles tendon, which required him to miss the first 12 games of the year. The year prior, he averaged 14.3 points and 5.5 rebounds per game as a sophomore.
With Flanigan’s return, every player on Auburn’s roster is healthy with the exception of freshman guard [autotag]Chance Westry[/autotag], who had arthroscopic knee surgery on Oct. 6. His recovery is expected to last for another two-three weeks.
Auburn senior guard Allen Flanigan returned to practice this week and Head Coach Bruce Pearl said it’s great to have him back. #WarEagle
