Auburn University’s men’s basketball program is facing significant internal challenges as two key starting players, freshman Jahki Howard and senior Jaheim Hudson, have been suspended indefinitely following a mid-air altercation. The incident occurred during a team flight to Houston, prompting the plane to return to Auburn. Both players were subsequently left behind as the team proceeded to its destination.
This suspension comes at a critical juncture for the Tigers, who have demonstrated strong performance throughout the season. Despite the recent turmoil, Auburn secured a 70-64 victory over Michigan State on March 30, 2025, advancing further in the NCAA tournament. The team’s resilience will be tested as they prepare for upcoming games without two of their starting players.
The indefinite suspension of Howard and Hudson underscores the program’s commitment to discipline and maintaining team integrity. As the Tigers navigate this challenging period, the focus will be on fostering a cohesive team environment and upholding the standards of Auburn basketball.
