Markus Burton injury update: Huge news emerges on Notre Dame star

Notre Dame received excellent news ahead of Saturday’s matchup against North Carolina. Star guard Markus Burton is expected to return for the Fighting Irish against the Tar Heels, according to CBS announcer John Sadak.

Burton did not start for the Irish, but he is expected to play.

“Notre Dame has some big help. We expect that Markus Burton will play for the first time since late November,” Sadak said pregame. “

Markus Burton is expected to return to the court for the first time since being injured against Rutgers on Nov. 26. He was off to a great start to the year before going down.

“Yea, he was terrific in the five games he played before he got hurt – 20 points a game, 5 assists and 5 rebounds,” CBS analyst Clark Kellogg said. “A dynamic shot-creator and playmaker who makes everybody else’s job for the Fighting Irish easy.

“Looking forward to seeing that young man play, one of the outstanding guards in the country. Been sidelined for the last several weeks.”
