Auburn coach Bruce Pearl didn't rule out a return of star forward Johni Broome for Saturday night's home game against No. 6 Tennessee.
Pearl told ESPN that Broome, who has been out since Jan. 11 with an ankle injury, practiced "some" on Friday. He remains questionable to play, Pearl said, and a decision is expected close to game time, with Broome set to take part in warmups.
Pearl added on ESPN's "College GameDay" on Saturday morning that he is "guessing" that Broome will try to play.
The coach had said if Broome is available to play, he wouldn't play a normal load of minutes.
