AUBURN, Alabama — Auburn's Danjel Purifoy is expected to return to the court Dec. 15 after a nearly two-year absence.
The 6-foot-7 wing player is suspended for the first 30 percent of Auburn's games after sitting out last season. Auburn coach Bruce Pearl confirmed Tuesday night Purifoy will miss nine games and he will likely return to the court for the Tigers' trip to UAB scheduled for Dec. 15.
Wiley will be eligible to start immediately.
