Auburn Basketball Splits Greece Trip, Adds Fifth-Year Guard Kolby King

August 14, 2026 — Auburn, AL

Auburn men’s basketball wrapped up a week-long foreign tour in Greece, splitting two games with Serbian club KK Mega Superbet — a 92-71 win Saturday followed by a 70-68 loss Sunday in Mykonos, where Caleb Williams’ last-second 3-point attempt fell short. The shorthanded Tigers left Greece on Wednesday after stops in Athens and Mykonos.

Days later, head coach Steven Pearl announced the addition of fifth-year guard Kolby King to the 2026-27 roster. King is newly eligible under the NCAA’s age-based eligibility framework.
