Several days after the Auburn Tigers' NIT Championship, a second player has announced he will be entering the transfer portal.
Freshman guard Kaden Magwood, a former 4-star recruit who played in only 20 games during his time on the Plains, will be parting ways with Steven Pearl and the Tigers.
Magwood's season with the Tigers started off strong. He served as the backup point guard and even got a couple of starts at the beginning of SEC play while Tahaad Pettiford was moved out of the starting lineup for disciplinary reasons.
Shortly after, Pearl pulled Magwood from the starting lineup, saying it was due to off-the-court disciplinary reasons and then Magwood's defensive performance. After it was reported that Pearl asked Magwood to move to the scout team, Magwood posted several inflammatory Instagram stories and it was later explained that Magwood asked Pearl to move to the scout team, not the other way around.
Still, Magwood did not see game action for the Tigers again until the NIT, where he played in all five games. He scored a season-high 14 points in the first game versus South Alabama.
Magwood is the second Auburn Tigers basketball player to hit the transfer portal after freshman international player Filip Jovic announced his plans to part ways with the Tigers on Tuesday.
The transfer portal window will be open for 15 days and will close on April 21. In addition to the departures of Magwood and Jovic, the Tigers will be losing Keyshawn Hall and KeShawn Murphy due to exhausted eligibility.
