Impact Notre Dame has turned things around a bit of late, due in part to Burton's continued production, as well as some softer ACC matchups. The Irish have won three of four, and Burton is averaging 23.8 ppg on 45.8 percent shooting over that span. He's improved his outside shooting tremendously, recorded a 43.3 percent success rate from distance -- more than 13 points higher than last year's final mark.

Impact Unsurprisingly, Burton returned to the starting unit after scoring 23 points across 23 minutes off the bench in the loss to UNC on Jan. 4. Burton is the Fighting Irish's best player by a wide margin, and he should continue to be the team's go-to option on offense.

Impact Burton didn't start in this tight loss, but he was still the best player on the court for the Fighting Irish despite playing only 23 minutes.

Will return vs. UNC Burton (knee) will make his return against North Carolina, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reports.

Impact Though the guard won't start, he'll be available and see his first action since Nov. 26. It's unclear how limited Burton will be, or if he'll be on a "pitch count" of sorts. Nonetheless, his return is a big deal, as he averages 18.2 points, 4.5 rebounds and 4.3 assists this season.

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.

Scores 25 points Friday Burton recorded 25 points (10-18 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds, five assists and one steal in 37 minutes during Friday's 84-77 loss to Elon.

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. Regardless, Burton delivered yet another impressive fantasy display. He's scored at least 16 points in his five outings this season, but he's taken things to a new level while reaching the 20-point mark in the last two.

He's thriving as a scorer as well, and this 29-point output was a season-high mark for the sophomore. Through four contests, Burton is averaging 20.5 points, 6.0 rebounds, 5.3 assists and 1.8 steals per game.
