AUBURN, Ala.- Former Auburn big man Johni Broome joins some elite company after being drafted in the second round by the Philadelphia 76ers. He joins Auburn legend Charles Barkley as the only other Tiger drafted by the 76ers.

Johni Broome led Auburn to the Final Four and piled up a trophy case full of accolades during the 2024-25 college basketball season. But after being drafted by the Philadelphia 76ers on Thursday night, Broome has had to leave behind the No. 4 jersey from his time with the Tigers. With the Sixers, Broome will wear No. 22.

Former Auburn star Johni Broome reflected on the reasons the 76ers selected him with the 35th pick of the 2025 NBA Draft.
