Impact Burton shed her questionable tag due to a right quadriceps contusion to suit up Tuesday, finishing one assist shy of what would have been her second double-double of the campaign. She was one of three Golden State players to score in double figures, though she put up a season-low five field-goal attempts. The 25-year-old guard has scored in double figures in all but one of her nine regular-season appearances and has dished out at least five assists in six of them.

Posts strong final line Burton produced 13 points (5-14 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 0-1 FT), four rebounds and seven assists in 27 minutes during Thursday's 87-70 victory over the Liberty.

Impact Burton didn't have her most efficient night from the field, but she locked it in from beyond the arc to set a season high in made threes. The fifth-year guard has been a reliable contributor across the board, as she's scored in double figures in each of her first four appearances while dishing out six or more assists in three of four matchups to begin the 2026 campaign.

Omitted from injury report Burton (illness) is off the injury report for Thursday's game against the Liberty.

Doesn't practice Sunday Burton (illness) didn't practice Sunday, Kenzo Fukuda of ClutchPoints.com reports.

Impact Burton is under the weather and was absent from Sunday's practice, though she'll have time to recover ahead of Thursday's game in New York. If the 25-year-old guard is unable to play against the Liberty, Kaila Charles and Kaitlyn Chen will likely see increased playing time, especially if Tiffany Hayes (finger) remains sidelined.

Scores 16 points in loss Burton finished with 16 points (5-15 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 4-4 FT), three rebounds, four assists and one steal over 36 minutes in Wednesday's 69-63 loss to Chicago.

Impact Burton had five turnovers in this contest. Still, it wasn't a terrible performance from the 25-year-old, who entered Wednesday's contest after posting a 13-point, 12-assist double-double in Sunday's 95-79 win over Phoenix. Burton averaged a career-best 11.9 points, 4.4 rebounds, 6.0 assists, 1.1 steals and 0.6 blocks across 29.4 minutes in 44 regular-season games with Golden State in 2025. At this rate, it appears she will have an even better season in 2026, even more so if she takes better care of the ball.

Impact Burton was good for the most made field goals of any of the Golden State starters, although the bench was actually a little more effective than the starting five in this opener. She showed off her versatility, however, chipping in with solid shooting from distance, a handful of assists and quick hands on defense, too.
