**Auburn Star Johni Broome Leaves No Doubt About Final Four Status After Injury in Elite Eight**
Auburn fans held their breath when star forward Johni Broome went down with an apparent injury during the team’s Elite Eight showdown. But after the game, Broome quickly put any concerns to rest, making it clear he’ll be ready to go for the Final Four.
Broome, who has been a dominant force for the Tigers all season, suffered what appeared to be a lower leg injury late in the second half. Despite briefly exiting the game, he returned to help Auburn secure a hard-fought victory and punch their ticket to the Final Four. When asked about his status, Broome was confident.
“I’m good,” he said with a smile. “Nothing’s keeping me out of the Final Four.”
Broome’s presence is crucial for Auburn’s championship hopes. The 6-foot-10 forward has been a double-double machine throughout the tournament, providing both offensive firepower and a strong defensive presence in the paint. His ability to dominate inside and stretch the floor has made him one of the most impactful players in March Madness.
Auburn head coach Bruce Pearl also reassured fans, saying Broome’s injury was nothing serious. “Johni is a warrior,” Pearl said. “He wasn’t coming out unless we had to drag him off the court. He’ll be ready.”
With Broome at full strength, Auburn enters the Final Four with momentum and confidence. They’ll face a tough opponent, but with their star big man leading the way, the Tigers remain a serious threat to win it all.
Auburn’s dream season continues, and Johni Broome has made one thing clear—he’s not missing this moment.
