Former Auburn forward Johni Broome ends the NBA Summer League on positive note.

The 2025 Las Vegas Summer League is wrapping up with the championship game between the Sacramento Kings and the Charlotte Hornets. Auburn fans will want to check out the final game featuring former Tigers center Dylan Cardwell playing for the Kings. A lot of curiosity also from Auburn fans was how Johni Broome would perform. Broome was drafted in the second round by the Philadelphia 76ers and a good showing in the summer could dictate his positioning on the main roster.

Broome played in seven of the 76ers games that spanned between Utah and Las Vegas. Over the course of those games, he averaged 11.6 points and 7.4 rebounds. The team posted a 4-4 overall record in the eight games played. He saved his best game for last against the Dallas Mavericks on Wednesday. In the 90-82 victory, he scored 22 points and pulled down 13 rebounds. Broome was held out of the final game on Friday versus the Nets.

He closed out with two consecutive games posting a double-double. On Tuesday versus the Washington Wizards, Broome scored 14 points with 10 rebounds. A statistic that really stands out is the three-point shooting for Broome. He made 14 of 31 three-point field goals for a percentage of 45%. Against the Mavericks he connected on four from long range on 11 attempts.

Auburn head coach Bruce Pearl came to show his supports to Broome and the other former Tigers at Las Vegas Summer League. When interviewed during a game he talked about Broome. “They’re getting a great teammate, a guy that wants to win, a guy that wants to compete”, said Pearl in the interview. “We would not be in the Final Four without Johni Broome,” Pearl continued. “He represented the name on the front of the jersey, and the name on the back of the jersey. He cared about Auburn basketball.”

It will be interesting to see how Broome performs when the NBA season starts this November.
