Jalen Haralson - Set to return Saturday Haralson (ankle) is not on the injury report ahead of Saturday's game against NC State.

Impact Haralson is set to return after missing Notre Dame's last three games, and the star freshman should give the Fighting Irish a huge boost on offense. He's averaging 15.5 points, 3.7 rebounds and 2.6 assists per game on the season.

Brady Koehler - Scores 14 points in blowout loss Koehler had 14 points (5-9 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-3 FT), five rebounds and one assist over 27 minutes during Tuesday's 100-56 loss to Duke.

Impact Since posting a double-double in a loss to Virginia on Jan. 27, Koehler has been putting up solid numbers for the Fighting Irish and has posted 10 or more points in four of his last eight outings. Koehler is averaging 7.5 points per game in conference play.

Jalen Haralson - Officially ruled out Haralson (ankle) is listed as out for Tuesday's game against Duke.

Impact Notre Dame head coach Micah Shrewsberry said earlier Monday that Haralson was expected to miss Tuesday's contest, so the freshman's out status doesn't come as a surprise. It'll be Haralson's third consecutive absence. Look for Logan Imes to remain in the first unit against the Blue Devils. Haralson's next chance to play will come Saturday against NC State.

Markus Burton - Unlikely to return this season Burton (ankle) is unlikely to return for the Fighting Irish in 2025-26, per Tyler James of On3.com.

Impact Burton has missed 17 straight games and hasn't played since Dec. 5, so the writing has been on the wall for some time now. Notre Dame has been forced to adopt to life without its star point guard for months now, and that likely won't change as the season winds down, with the Fighting Irish only having five more guaranteed games.

6 DAYS AGO • Associated Press

Jalen Haralson - Likely out against Duke Haralson (ankle) is likely out for Tuesday's game against Duke, according to Tom Noie of the South Bend Tribune.

Impact Notre Dame's head coach Micah Shrewsberry recently announced that Haralson is "probably out" Tuesday. So when the ACC student-athlete availability report logs its next update Monday, chances are high his game status will either become doubtful or remain unavailable. Losing Haralson against a top team like Duke may prove costly, especially with the freshman averaging 16.3 points in conference action this season.

Logan Imes - Stuffs stat sheet in loss Imes accumulated 12 points (4-10 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 3-4 FT), eight rebounds, three assists, one block and three steals across 30 minutes during Saturday's 73-68 loss to Pittsburgh.

Impact Imes didn't have his best shooting performance Saturday, but he still posted a well-rounded line after notching at least three tallies in four of the five major categories. Don't be surprised if Imes posts a solid stat line in the final two weeks of the regular season given how depleted Notre Dame are in terms of depth.

Jalen Haralson - Out once again Haralson (ankle) is out for Saturday's game against Pittsburgh.

Impact Haralson has been outstanding for Notre Dame this season and is absence will be greatly felt, as he's averaging 16.3 points per game this season. The Fighting Irish are depleted offensively without both Haralson and Markus Burton (ankle).

Cole Certa scores career-high 37 points and Notre Dame tops Georgia Tech 89-74

Cole Certa scored a career-high 37 points, including a career-high seven 3-pointers, and Notre Dame rolled past Georgia Tech 89-74 to snap a five-game losing streak

FEBRUARY 14 • Associated Press

Cole Certa - Explodes for 37 points in win Certa contributed 37 points (12-20 FG, 7-11 3Pt, 6-6 FT) and three rebounds in 40 minutes during Saturday's 89-74 victory over Georgia Tech.

Impact Certa has been a go-to scorer for the Irish this season, and he showcased his dominance once again in the win over Tech. The 6-foot-5 sophomore's 37 points were his second time this season with 30 or more points, and he's now averaging 21 points in the last six games. He should continue to be a problem for other teams moving forward, and he'll look to keep his momentum going at Pitt next Saturday.

FEBRUARY 14 • ROTOWIRE

Cole Certa - Available vs. GT Certa (undisclosed) is available for Saturday's game against Georgia Tech.

Impact Considering that Certa's previous status was probable for Saturday, his updated availability against Georgia Tech should not be so surprising, though the earlier update reasonably raised some concern. He has become a regular starter in conference action and has rewarded the decision by averaging 17.8 points across his last five games. What makes Certa's scoring outstanding is that most of it has come from three-pointers, with the five-game span including 4.0 3PM on a 37.0 percent clip.

FEBRUARY 14 • ROTOWIRE

Jalen Haralson - Out vs. GT Haralson (ankle) is out for Saturday's game against Georgia Tech.

Impact For only the second time this season, Haralson will sit out a game, due to a sprained ankle per Tom Noie of the South Bend Tribune. The freshman has logged a relatively clean health bill this season, with his 24 games and 22 starts to prove it. He has proved to be a scoring dynamo in conference games, with 16.3 points per game on an efficient 52.9 field goal percentage, so losing him will be big in what is to be a matchup between injury-riddled teams. Haralson will have a week to recover before Notre Dame's subsequent game, currently scheduled for Feb. 21 at Pittsburgh.

FEBRUARY 14 • ROTOWIRE

Cole Certa - Deemed probable Certa (undisclosed) is listed as probable for Notre Dame's game at Georgia Tech.

Impact Certa has yet to miss a game this season, and he's started the last seven contests for the Irish, averaging 15.3 points, 2.6 rebounds and 1.4 assists in that span. The sophomore guard should still play barring any setbacks, but he'll be worth keeping an eye on.

FEBRUARY 13 • ROTOWIRE

Jalen Haralson - Questionable to play Saturday Haralson (undisclosed) is questionable for Saturday's game against Georgia Tech.

Impact Haralson might be in danger of missing a game for the second time this season, and for the first time since Nov. 7. Not having Haralson around would be a huge blow for Notre Dame, as they're already missing Markus Burton (ankle). Haralson is averaging 16.3 points, 3.8 rebounds and 2.4 assists per game in ACC play in 2025-26.

Georgia Tech visits Notre Dame following Haralson's 23-point game

Notre Dame hosts the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets after Jalen Haralson scored 23 points in Notre Dame's 89-81 loss to the SMU Mustangs

FEBRUARY 13 • Associated Press

Jalen Haralson - Goes for 23 points Tuesday Haralson recorded 23 points (9-13 FG, 5-8 FT), three rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal across 31 minutes during Tuesday's 89-81 loss to SMU.

Impact Haralson continues to make an impact as a scorer for the Fighting Irish, and he led the way in this loss to a strong Mustangs team. Haralson has been on a tear of late after scoring 20 or more points in three of his last five appearances. He's averaging 16.6 points per game since the beginning of January.

Braeden Shrewsberry - Puts up 18 points in loss Shrewsberry logged 18 points (5-14 FG, 4-12 3Pt, 4-4 FT), five rebounds, four assists and one steal across 39 minutes during Saturday's 82-79 loss to Florida State.

Impact Shrewsberry bounced back after scoring just eight points in the loss to Louisville, and more often than not, he's been a reliable scoring weapon for Notre Dame. The junior guard, one of the top scoring alternatives due to the absence of Markus Burton (ankle), has scored in double digits in four of his last five appearances, averaging 16.6 points per game over that stretch. Perhaps more importantly, he's managed to end the slump he went through between the end of December and mid-January. He had averaged just 7.2 points per game in six outings between Dec. 30 and Jan. 21.
