Jahki Howard and Ja‘Heim Hudson will travel with the team to Hawaii for the Maui Invitational, and are available to play, according to Bruce Pearl.

The two players haven’t appeared in a game for Auburn since the season-opener against Vermont on Nov. 6.

Howard and Hudson were reportedly involved in an in-flight altercation during the team’s trip to Houston on Nov. 8, causing the plane to be diverted back to the airport. When the team re-departed later that night, Howard and Hudson did not travel with the team.

They were with the team for Auburn’s home games against Kent State and North Alabama, but did not play. Against North Alabama, the two were dressed out and warmed up, but never entered the game. Pearl confirmed on Wednesday that Howard and Hudson were available against North Alabama despite not playing.

They did not dress out for the game against Kent State.

The Maui Invitational begins for Auburn Monday night at 8 p.m. as the Tigers face Iowa State in the first round. They will play either North Carolina or Dayton on Tuesday depending on the results of the two first round games.
