Auburn forward Filip Jovic plans to enter transfer portal

The first domino of the transfer portal cycle involving Auburn basketball has fallen.

Auburn Undercover reports that Auburn forward Filip Jovic plans to enter the transfer portal after spending one season with the program. Jovic becomes the first member of Auburn's 2025-26 squad to enter the transfer portal just hours after the two-week window opened on Tuesday.

Jovic signed with Auburn last May following a stint in the FIBA European League, where he played for KK MegaBasket in Serbia. In his lone season on the Plains, Jovic averaged 6.3 points and 4.0 rebounds per game while shooting 64% from the field over 37 games, making nine starts.

Jovic made a special run to end the season by averaging 11.4 points per game during Auburn's NIT run, where he scored over 10 points in Auburn's final four games, including 12 points in Auburn's NIT Championship win over Tulsa on Sunday. Before the NIT, Jovic reached double-digits in points just four times.

Heading into the offseason, Auburn will look to replace several key seniors, including KeShawn Murphy and Keyshawn Hall, with Jovic adding his name to the list. Auburn has already signed an international player in Narcisse Ngoy, a 7-0 center from France. Auburn has also landed a three-star forward, Caleb Williams, from SFA Academy in Tampa, Florida, to its high school 2026 signing class.

The transfer portal window for college basketball opened Tuesday, April 7, and will close on Tuesday, April 21.
