No. 22 Auburn will likely be without its starting big man, KeShawn Murphy, again when the Tigers face Wofford on Tuesday night at Neville Arena.
Murphy, a 6–foot–10 forward who transferred from Mississippi State, has been sidelined by injuries to start the season. A preseason knee issue flared up during an exhibition game against Oklahoma State, and he hurt his ankle in Auburn’s opener against Bethune-Cookman.
Against the Wildcats, Murphy put up 17 points and eight rebounds in 23 minutes on the floor.
“Murph is progressing from his ankle injury," Steven Pearl said. "He will play in an emergency situation, if we need him to, against Wofford.
