Jahki Howard and Ja'Heim Hudson are both set to miss their second game in a row after not playing in Auburn's 74-69 win over Houston on Saturday, according to the Auburn radio broadcast.
Howard and Hudson were reportedly involved in an in-flight altercation on the team's trip to Houston last Friday, causing the flight to be diverted back to the airport.
The two did not travel with the team to Houston after the team re-departed later that night. When asked on Tuesday about Howard and Hudson's status, Bruce Pearl didn't say whether or not the two would be available going forward.
"It was obviously an unfortunate situation. We're dealing with it head on," Pearl said. "Those guys were in class and practice on Monday."
Auburn's matchup with Kent State is scheduled to tip off at 7 p.m. and will be streaming live on ESPN+ and SEC Network+.
