Auburn basketball fans have known JT Thor would enter the NBA Draft, but many fans were holding onto hope that the talented forward would return to Auburn if he went undrafted. According to Auburn Undercover, many sources expect Thor to stick with the professional route and will not return to Auburn basketball for the 2021 season.

Thor originally announced that he would enter the NBA Draft and sign with an agent, but wanted to keep the option of returning to Auburn open on March 24th.
