Auburn basketball loses starter to injury

The Auburn Tigers lose one of their starters to injury vs Ole Miss.

Starting small forward Chris Moore exited the game vs Ole Miss on Tuesday night with an injury.

He reemerged from the locked room with a cast around his right arm and an ice pack. Per the Auburn Tigers' Twitter page, he will not be returning tonight due to a right shoulder injury. He only played two minutes before being taken out of the game.

His 2.9 rebounds and 0.7 steals per game are also career highs this season.

No. 21 Auburn currently leads Ole Miss 46-41 with 14 minutes left in the game.
