Kennedy Burke - WNBA News, Rumors, & Updates

Upgraded to available Burke (illness) is listed as available for Monday's game against the Liberty.

Impact Burke is set to return from a one-game absence with an illness Monday, and she could be more involved due to the absence of Aneesah Morrow (leg). Burke has averaged 7.1 points, 3.7 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 1.2 steals and 1.0 blocks in 23.7 minutes per tilt over 11 games (seven starts) this season.

Questionable against Liberty Burke (illness) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Liberty.

Impact Burke didn't suit up for Friday's 85-80 loss to Chicago because of an illness. If that trend continues Monday versus New York, it could mean more minutes for Charlisse Leger-Walker. Aaliyah Edwards (concussion) also appears to be in line to return from a three-game absence, which will also help fill the void if Burke can't suit up.

Out with illness Burke is out for Friday's game against the Sky due to an illness.

Impact Burke is out of action for the first time this season. Her next chance to return arrives Monday, when the Sun host the Liberty. Burke's absence should open up more playing time for Olivia Nelson-Ododa and Charlisse Leger-Walker on Friday.

Iffy for Friday Burke is questionable for Friday's game against the Sky due to an illness.

Impact Burke is at risk of sitting out for the first time this year Friday. Her playing time has dipped lately, as Burke has logged fewer than 20 minutes in two of her past three outings, but her absence would likely allow Olivia Nelson-Ododa and Charlisse Leger-Walker to get more invovled.

Contributes off bench Burke recorded 14 points (4-8 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 4-8 FT), six rebounds, three blocks and two steals over 24 minutes during the Sun's 84-81 win over the Sparks on Saturday.

Impact Burke contributed on both sides of the floor, leading the Sun with five combined blocks and steals while finishing as the team's second-leading scorer behind Aneesah Morrow (17 points). It's the fourth time in 10 games that Burke has scored in double digits, and her five stocks tied a season high that she set against the Aces on May 15.

Headed to bench Burke is not in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game in Portland.

Impact Burke will come off the bench for just the second time this season, but that could work to her favor. In her previous game as a reserve, Burke finished with 15 points, six rebounds, one assist and one block over 23 minutes.

MAY 28 • ROTOWIRE

Starting vs. Seattle Burke will start Friday's game against the Storm.

Impact Aneesah Morrow got the starting nod in Brittney Griner's (rib) absence during Wednesday's win over Seattle, though Burke will start in Griner's place Friday. As a starter this season (five games), Burke has averaged 6.2 points, 3.8 rebounds, 3.8 assists and 2.4 combined steals-plus-blocks in 26.8 minutes per outing.

Headed to bench Burke will come off the bench for Wednesday's game versus the Storm.

Impact Burke has been struggling as a starter this season, converting 27.3 percent of her shot attempts and 16.7 percent of her three-point attempts. Perhaps a move to the second unit will help her get going.

MAY 21 • ROTOWIRE

Contributes defensively in loss Burke totaled zero points (0-5 FG, 0-3 3Pt), six rebounds, three assists, one block and two steals across 21 minutes during Monday's 83-82 loss to the Fire.

Impact Although Burke was held scoreless for the first time this year, she led the first unit in boards Monday. She's been fairly productive on both ends of the floor with averages of 6.2 points, 3.8 rebounds, 3.8 assists, 1.2 steals and 1.2 blocks 26.8 minutes per tilt through five games this season, but Burke is shooting a paltry 27.3 percent from the field as well.

MAY 19 • ROTOWIRE

Shooting woes continue in loss Burke was limited to four points (2-8 FG, 0-3 3Pt), one rebound, five assists, one block and four turnovers across 31 minutes in Wednesday's 98-69 loss to Las Vegas.

Impact Burke has gotten off to a rough start this season, converting just 25.9 percent of her shot attempts and 20.0 percent of her three-point attempts. She's also committing 3.0 turnovers per game, which typically isn't an issue for her. The 29-year-old veteran will look to snap out of the funk in Friday's rematch with Las Vegas.

MAY 14 • ROTOWIRE

Dishes out five assists in defeat Burke closed Sunday's 89-82 loss to Seattle with 12 points (3-11 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 4-6 FT), six rebounds, five assists and two blocks across 34 minutes.

Impact Burke didn't deliver her most efficient performance Sunday and has shot just 26.3 percent from the floor through two regular-season games. However, the 29-year-old forward still finished as one of four Sun players to score in double figures, and she also made an impact on the glass. Additionally, she led the team in assists and blocks. Burke will likely continue to play a sizable role for Connecticut, though Aaliyah Edwards' (thigh) eventual return could eat into Burke's minutes.

Scores 13 in debut Burke logged 13 points (5-8 FG, 3-5 3Pt), three assists, two rebounds and three turnovers across 21 minutes of Wednesday's 83-78 preseason win over the Tempo.

Impact Burke made a strong impression in her Connecticut debut. After playing a sizable role with the Liberty in 2025, she has the potential to become a key contributor for the Sun.

APRIL 30 • ROTOWIRE

Starting for Sun Burke will start Wednesday's preseason game against the Tempo.

Impact Burke will get a shot in the starting lineup Wednesday for her Connecticut debut. She averaged 8.1 points, 2.4 rebounds and 1.3 assists across 21.6 minutes per contest in 36 regular-season outings (nine starts) last season for the Liberty.

APRIL 29 • ROTOWIRE

Lands deal with Connecticut Burke agreed to a one-year contract with the Sun on Saturday, Alexa Philippou of ESPN.com reports.

Impact After spending the last two seasons with the Liberty, Burke will head to Connecticut, where she'll likely compete for playing time with Aneesah Morrow, Diamond Miller and Aaliyah Edwards. Burke averaged 8.1 points, 2.4 rebounds and 1.3 assists across 21.6 minutes per contest in 36 regular-season outings (nine starts) last season.

APRIL 12 • ROTOWIRE

Pulls down six rebounds in win Burke racked up six points (2-3 FG, 1-1 3Pt), six rebounds and one assist across 21 minutes in Tuesday's 75-66 victory over the Mystics.

Impact Burke's scoring production was down, as she had 13 points across 24 minutes against the Storm last time out, but the rebounds were her second-most this season, one short of the seven she had against the Valkyries back on May 29. She is averaging 9.0 points, 4.0 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.0 three-pointers per game in her past two outings.

SEPTEMBER 10, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Solid output off bench Burke supplied 13 points (5-9 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, two assists and one steal across 24 minutes during Friday's 84-76 win over the Storm.

Impact Burke returned to the bench after starting in three of New York's previous four contests, and she was a solid contributor as the Liberty grinded out a strong win away from home. From an individual perspective, Burke managed to bounce back after three consecutive outings in which she didn't reach the 10-point mark. However, the lack of consistency on a game-to-game basis limits Burke's fantasy upside, meaning it's hard to trust her on a game-to-game basis regardless of the format you're playing.

Bench role Friday Burke will come off the bench during Friday's game against the Storm.

Impact After a disappointing outing as a starter Tuesday against the Valkyries, going scoreless in 16 minutes on the floor, Burke will revert to a reserve role. Rebekah Gardner will get the start while Sabrina Ionescu (toe) remains on the mend.

SEPTEMBER 6, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Disappears in Tuesday's start Burke closed with zero points (0-3 FG, 0-2 3Pt), five rebounds and one assist over 16 minutes during Tuesday's 66-58 loss to the Valkyries.

Impact Burke was plugged into the starting lineup in place of Emma Meesseman, but she definitely didn't seize the opportunity. Rebounds aside, Burke did nothing, while posting a dismal minus-16 rating. She is averaging just 2.7 points, 2.3 rebounds, 1.7 assists and zero three-pointers across the past three outings.
