It’s finally official: J.T. Thor will not be returning to the Auburn basketball roster for the 2021 season. Though many fans held onto hope that the forward would return to the Plains, Thor announced over the weekend he would be signing with Next Level Sports and Management.
Thor marks the second loss to the NBA for Bruce Pearl’s Tigers after the abysmal 2020 season, following freshman standout Sharife Cooper.
