It’s been a minute since Auburn fans have seen Danjel Purifoy on the floor. In fact, we have to go back to March 8, 2017 when Auburn lost a heartbreaking game to Missouri in Overtime in the 1st Round of the SEC Tournament.
647 days later and the wait is finally over. The junior forward will make his season debut on Saturday night when the 8th ranked Auburn Tigers take on UAB at Legacy Arena in Birmingham. Purifoy will take the floor for the first time about 50 miles from his hometown of Centreville, Alabama. Purifoy’s addition to the lineup will allow Bruce Pearl to be able to go 10 deep with his Tigers.
