DeAndre Burnett listed as day-to-day with ankle injury

Ole Miss guard DeAndre Burnett is currently the fifth leading scorer in the SEC (18.0 points) behind the likes of Malik Monk, Yante Maten, Sindarius Thornwell and Quinndary Weatherspoon.

But after suffering an injured ankle during the Rebels’ loss to the Georgia Bulldogs, Burnett used crutches to leave the arena and was ruled day-to-day. He underwent an MRI and it was announced that the guard did not suffer any ligament damage, making the injury a severely sprained ankle.

Burnett is the Rebels’ leading scorer and leading assist man (3.1), and is shooting 36 percent from the field overall and 36 percent from beyond the three point line. He is also shooting a highly efficient 91 percent from the line and is averaging 0.9 steals per game.

With a critical game coming up on Saturday at South Carolina, Andy Kennedy’s team needs Burnett’s services if they want to have an opportunity to pull off a massive upset. It’s unlikely that the Miami transfer will play though (there have been some reports that he is doubtful), putting a load of pressure on New Mexico transfer Cullen Neal and Rasheed Brooks.
