Goes for 11 points Burke finished with 11 points (3-12 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 4-4 FT), six rebounds, two assists and one steal across 29 minutes during Wednesday's 106-102 loss to Toronto.

Impact Burke had a difficult time with her shot, particularly from distance, but she did a good job on the glass, posting a game-high six offensive rebounds. She is working on a seven-game streak with at least one steal. While she does a good job in the defensive stats, her scoring production is a bit erratic. She has posted at least 10 points in just two of the past seven outings since May 22.

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.

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

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.
