Freshman center Trent Burns hasn't seen much basketball action over the last few years, but now that he's healthy, the Tigers have been getting some valuable minutes from the 7-foot-5 big man.
Burns, who missed the first six games of the season, hadn't really played any meaningful basketball since 2024 due to a string of injuries. Now though, he's healthy and improving, and over the last two games has injected the Missouri defense with some juice.
"Before this season, I'd been counting, because I've been hurt so much. It was like 600 something days since I played a game," Burns said.
