Impact Burton has been doing some non-contact work the last couple weeks in practice. The team will wait and see how he feels after practice on Monday and evaluate soreness and swelling if there is any. Even if Burton doesn't play Tuesday, a return seems like it is coming soon.

Out for several weeks Burton had surgery on his left knee Friday and is expected to miss between four to six weeks, according to Jerry DiPaola of TribLive.com.
Impact Burton, a transfer from Texas Tech, might miss the first four non-conference games as a result of the recovery. He was never able to showcase his talent at Texas Tech, but there's no question this isn't the start he envisioned to his Pittsburgh career. Nike Sibande, Onyebuchi Ezeakudo and Chayce Smith could all benefit from an uptick on playing time while Burton is out.

Wichita State follows tumult with familiar place in NCAA
For a team that’s been a NCAA Tournament regular much of the past decade, Wichita State is still a bit taken aback by its latest appearanceMARCH 17, 2021 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Sitting out again Burton (toe) will miss another game Thursday versus Iowa State, Carlos Silva Jr. of the Lubbock Avalanche-Journal reports.
Impact Burton was spotted in a walking boot prior to Tuesday's game, so it's not exactly a surprise that he's not going to rejoin the action just a pair of days later. It would seem more likely than not he's headed for another DNP to close out the regular season Sunday versus Baylor before the Big 12 Tournament.

Seen in walking boot pregame Burton (toe) was spotted pregame in a walking boot, KTXT Sports reports.

Set to sit Saturday Burton (toe) is not participating in warmups ahead of Saturday's game versus Texas, suggesting he will miss the game, KTXT Sports reports.
Impact Burton typically supplies double-digit minutes in relief of the backcourt starters but will miss out on his second straight contest due to a toe issue. His minutes will likely get dispersed to others in the backcourt rotation, while the junior will target Tuesday versus TCU as his next potential return date.

Questionable for Saturday Burton (toe) is questionable to face Texas on Saturday, according to Ryan Mainville of the Daily Toreador.
Impact "As soon as he can play, he will play. Will he play Saturday? I don't know", head coach Chris Beard said, and he added that Burton might not be at 100 percent before the season ends. However, that won't be an issue for him to return. His next chance to play will be against TCU in Mar. 2.

Won't play Monday Burton won't play in Monday's game against Oklahoma State due to a toe injury, Carlos Silva Jr. of the Lubbock Avalanche-Journal reports.
Impact The junior is apparently dealing with a toe tendon issue and will miss his first game of the season. The guard is being deemed day-to-day moving forward. Clarence Nadolny may see increased run with Burton out Monday.

Will not redshirt this season Burton will be available to play this season after initially planning to redshirt, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reports.
Impact Texas Tech has ample depth in the backcourt this season, which is why the Wichita State transfer initially was considering redshirting. Burton will likely come off the bench behind Kyler Edwards and Mac McClung to play more of a sixth man role. In any event, he should still see mid-20 minutes per contest.
