Denver Jones is currently “questionable” for No. 1 Auburn’s game against No. 22 Texas A&M on Tuesday.
The SEC released the initial availability report on Monday evening. No Aggie players are included.
Jones was injured in AU’s 94-78 win at Kentucky. Monday morning, Auburn coach Bruce Pearl described Jones’ ankle issue as a soft tissue injury. Pearl acknowledged that Jones could miss time, but would not be out long.
Bruce Pearl says Denver Jones' ankle issue is actually a soft-tissue injury, not a bone bruise.

"It's something that could hold him out, but it's not going to hold him out for long."
Jones has started all 29 games for the 27-2 Tigers. He averages 10.7 points per game on 44.1% shooting from the field.
Entering the A&M game, Auburn has already locked up the SEC regular-season title and No. 1 seed in the conference tournament. AU is currently projected to be the No. 1 overall seed in the NCAA Tournament with 2 regular-season contests remaining. Since the loss to Florida, Auburn is on a 7-game winning streak.
Tuesday’s game is set for tipoff at 9 p.m. ET in College Station, airing on ESPN. Auburn wraps up the regular season against Alabama on Saturday.
