Auburn forward Danjel Purifoy will be eligible to return to the court for the 2018-19 season once he serves a suspension.
According to the NCAA ruling, Purifoy must sit out for the first 30 percent of the season, which will likely be at least nine games.

The sophomore missed the entire 2017-18 season after being ruled ineligible following the arrest of former Auburn assistant coach Chuck Person.
Purifoy averaged 11.5 points and 4.7 rebounds per game in the 2016-17 season and played 28.7 minutes per contest.
Austin Wiley, who also sat out this season, will also be eligible to return next season should he decide to return to school.
Wiley is projected to one of several Auburn players that enters the NBA draft process this offseason, with Purifoy possibly being included in that group.
Despite having both players sidelined this season, the Tigers still managed to capture a share of the SEC regular season title before losing to Clemson in the second round of the NCAA Tournament.
