Recapping Lior Berman’s career at Auburn

Lior Berman joined Auburn’s roster ahead of the 2019-20 season as a walk-on from the Birmingham suburb of Mountain Brook. He would go on to become a solid bench option for Auburn over the next five seasons.

Berman appeared in 81 games over his five-year career, averaging 7.1 minutes per outing. He connected on 41% of his field-goal attempts and 38% from three-point territory. He averaged 1.8 points, 0.9 rebounds, and 0.2 assists over his Auburn career.

Berman’s senior season was cut short when he sustained a torn ACL injury in Auburn’s win over Mississippi State on March 2 in Neville Arena. Following the injury, head coach Bruce Pearl shared his gratitude for Berman’s contributions throughout his career.

“Our heart truly breaks for Lior,” Pearl said. “He has made a huge impact in this program resulting in historical success over the last five years. At a time when he had worked his way into a major roll on this year’s team, the Lord had a different plan. I promise you, Lior’s faith and conviction will allow him to pursue his dream of playing professionally next year in Israel. Our team may have won a game yesterday, but we suffered a huge loss.”

Here is a look back at several of Berman’s moments as an Auburn Tiger.
