Out Wednesday Wertz (ankle) will not play Wednesday against Texas A&M Corpus Christi but he is expected to return Dec. 28 against Pittsburgh.
Impact Wertz is dealing with a sprained right ankle and Notre Dame will keep him on the sidelines as non-conference play comes to a close Wednesday. The guard will have six days to rest and rehab before the Irish return to action against Pittsburgh on the road.

Scores 12 off bench Saturday Wertz logged 12 points (3-9 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), two rebounds and two assists over 29 minutes during Saturday's 66-62 victory over Kentucky.
Impact Wertz was one of four Notre Dame players that scored in double digits in this upset win, but those performances have not been consistent with him. In fact, he has scored more than 10 points just once all season long and is averaging a mere 5.8 points per game -- a downgrade compared to the 8.4 points per tilt he averaged in the 2020-21 season.

Back from ankle injury Wertz (ankle) had 15 points (5-7 FG, 5-7 3Pt) and three rebounds across 20 minutes off the bench in Friday's 78-44 exhibition victory over St. Norbert College.
Impact The level of competition should be taken into account here, but Wertz appeared to be in mid-season form -- especially from distance -- after battling an ankle injury for much of preseason practice. He also chipped in an assist, a steal and a block for one of the most complete stat lines of any Notre Dame player. He may not crack the starting five, with Prentiss Hubb, Cormac Ryan and Dane Goodwin all returning, but Wertz could easily be considered a Sixth Man of the Year candidate in the ACC due to his ability to score in bunches.

Warming up Friday Wertz (ankle) is taking part in warmups ahead of Friday's exhibition versus St. Norbert College, Tom Noie of the South Bend Tribune reports.
Impact A report from Thursday from coach Mike Bray suggested Wertz should be ready to play in the opener and that will assuredly be the case if he winds up playing Friday and avoids any setbacks.The junior finished last season averaging 8.3 points, 2.7 rebounds and 2.3 assists over 26.2 minutes per game and figures to be heavily involved in the rotation for the Fighting Irish again this season.

Should play in opener Coach Mike Bray indicated that Wertz (ankle) should be available for the season opener Nov. 13 versus Cal State-Northridge, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reports.
Impact The coaching staff has been cautious with Wertz leading up to the season to ensure his availability for the opener. He seems to be trending in the right direction leading up to the opener, though it's unclear if his conditioning will be up to a point where he can play a normal workload. More information on his status should surface sometime over the next week.

Being cautious with ankle injury Wertz did not play in an exhibition game last week due to an ankle injury, Tom Noie of the South Bend Tribune reports.
Impact If it had been a regular season game it was expected that Wertz could have played through it, but there's no sense in risking anything for a game that means nothing. Provided he avoid any setbacks, Wertz should be out there for the opener on Nov. 13 against Cal State-Northridge.

Scores team-high 17 points Wertz posted 17 points (6-10 FG, 5-8 3Pt), three rebounds and three assists across 34 minutes in Saturday's loss against Syracuse.
Impact Wertz was Notre Dame's best scoring threat, but he disappeared in the second half since he scored just six of his 17 points after the break. This was Wertz's second double-digit scoring game since the beginning of the calendar year, however, and he needs to score with more consistency if he wants to be a reliable offensive threat in the final weeks of the regular sesaon.

Starting Saturday Wertz will start Saturday's game against Syracuse, Tom Noie of the South Bend Tribune reports.
Impact Wertz will start in place of Cormac Ryan (foot), who will come off the bench in order to limit his minutes during his return from injury. Wertz will look to build on his averages of 7.1 points, 2.6 assists and 2.5 rebounds over 24.5 minutes per game.
FEBRUARY 20, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Not in starting five Wertz won't start Tuesday's game against Duke, Tom Noie of the South Bend Tribune reports.
Impact Wertz is coming off a scoreless, 0-4 day from the field against Georgia Tech and will return to a bench role in a shakeup Tuesday. Ryan Cormac will get the start in his place and could pry a few minutes away from the junior as a result.
FEBRUARY 9, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Not starting Sunday Wertz is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against Miami.
Impact Head coach Mike Brey decided to put out an entirely new starting five after a highly competitive practice Friday earned the "blue team" the start against Miami on Sunday. Wertz will instead come off the bench following a game in which he hit just 1-of-6 shots for five points in a win over Boston College.
JANUARY 24, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Limited in return Wertz had three points (1-4 FG, 1-2 3Pt) and two turnovers across 18 minutes in Sunday's 77-63 loss to Notre Dame.
Impact Wertz had been seeing his role grow in the offense since being declared eligible, but an ankle injury forced him to sit out Jan. 2 against North Carolina. The Irish saw one of the tougher defensive matchups in the ACC on Sunday, plus Wertz came off the bench and saw his second-lowest minutes total of the season. Look for the Santa Clara transfer to begin gradually ramping up his minutes, though he has another tough matchup on tap Wednesday at Virginia.

Will return Sunday Wertz (ankle) will be available to play in Sunday's game against Virginia Tech, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reports.
Impact Wertz fortunately only had to miss one game after suffering an ankle injury against Virginia on Dec. 30. The 6-5 junior started in three of four games this season so it'll be interesting to see if head coach Mike Breen elects to re-insert Wertz into the starting five or bring him off the bench.
JANUARY 10, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Could return as early as Sunday Coach Mike Brey said that Wertz (ankle) could return as early as Sunday against Virginia Tech, Tom Noie of the South Bend Tribune reports.
Impact Wertz has been recovering from an ankle sprain suffered on Dec. 30 against Virginia. He will not play on Wednesday against Georgia Tech, but it's looking like the 6-5 guard won't miss too much more time. Wertz is averaging 9.8 points and 2.8 assists per game this season.
JANUARY 5, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Not playing Saturday Wertz (ankle) will not face North Carolina on Saturday, according to Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports.
Impact Wertz only played 10 minutes in Notre Dame's previous game before suffering the injury. His next chance to play now will come on Jan. 6 at home against Georgia Tech.
