Markus Burton - College Basketball News & Rumors

Out several weeks Burton (knee) is expected to miss several weeks with a knee injury, per Jeff Borzello of ESPN.com.

Impact Burton was previously confirmed to be out for the remainder of the Players Era Festival, but it looks like the Notre Dame star will miss extended time. The 5-foot-11 sophomore had been averaging a blistering 18.2 points, 4.5 rebounds and 4.3 assists per game through six contests for the Fighting Irish before suffering a knee injury against Rutgers on Tuesday. Though the injury is expected to keep him out for several weeks, it has been confirmed to be a non-season ending injury. With Burton out for some time, his teammates will be forced into some larger roles, with junior Tae Davis looking like a likely candidate after scoring 37 points in the team's last two games following Burton's injury.

Impact Burton and Braeden Shrewsberry led the way for the Fighting Irish on Friday, but they came up short of topping Elon in a back-and-forth contest.

Sniffs triple-double Burton ended Monday's 86-77 victory over Buffalo with 19 points (8-21 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 2-4 FT), nine rebounds, eight assists and three steals over 35 minutes.

Impact Tae Davis led the way for Notre Dame in the scoring column with an impressive 27-point performance, but Burton was equally dominant as an all-around threat. The star guard finished just one rebound and two assists shy of a triple-double, and his role as the Fighting Irish's go-to player on offense is pretty much set in stone.

Strong output in blowout victory Burton ended Wednesday's 89-60 victory over Stonehill with 18 points (6-17 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 4-4 FT), three rebounds, five assists and one steal over 32 minutes.

Impact Burton was the co-leader in scoring for the Fighting Irish on Wednesday, and he also paced the team in assists. However, that shouldn't be surprising given his usage rate and his role as the team's starting floor general. Burton seems poised to have a strong sophomore year and should operate as Notre Dame's go-to player on offense on a game-to-game basis.

Impact Burton withdrawing from the 2024 NBA Draft gives him another season of college basketball to raise his relatively impressive stock.

Burton's one-year experience and another offseason of preparation can help him replicate his aforementioned output, further legitimizing the freshman as a star.

Impact Burton has been one of the best freshmen in the ACC this season, evidenced by the fact that he has scored in double digits in all but two of his appearances while also reaching the 15-point mark in five of his last six. His scoring prowess is proven at the college level, and he has the makings of a future star -- and likely future pro -- based on what he's shown with the Fighting Irish so far.
