Auburn men's basketball leading scorer Johni Broome will not need surgery, according to the team, after injuring his shoulder Tuesday night against Georgia State.
Broome, who entered the game averaging 19.7 points and a Division I-leading 12.7 rebounds, went to the locker room just 2:17 into the contest. Tigers coach Bruce Pearl told reporters afterward that Broome's shoulder "came out and came right back in," something that happened to him last season, as well.
MRI results indicated the standout center will not have to miss extended time, the team said Wednesday.
