What's the Status on Burks?

David Locke said:
Alec is continuing to progress. There has not been any sort of setback. He is progressing well, and working awfully hard.

One of the biggest things that has happened since Dennis Lindsey has come in, is the level of sports science. *explains that they want to make sure he won't have another injury*Is his entire body ready? Not saying just "is he healed".

The expectation is that he will play before the season is over

apparently Sports Science provides a lot of avenues for hyper-conservative and **** scared decision-making.

Dear FO,

It sucks when a player doubles the recovery time and the only thing we hear about is from your mouth piece who tells us how cutting edge you are.

...and, Locke immediately backtracked on his statement that the expectation is for Burks to play this year. Immediately after he said it. Not sure why Dal didn't include that part. Locke doesn't know. He does know that Lindsey has a tasty knob.
 
Everyone that gets hurt this year takes forever to heal. At this point Exum will miss next season

This
Big time.
If there have been no set backs then why has #Thereturn been set back by a month?

chill bruh
 
Locke seemingly offered up nothing and gave it as an update. I like Locke though so I'm not capping on him.

I think if we don't see him in the next 6 or 7 games then he's done for the year... This year sucks.

I think I'd be more onboard this cutting edge minimize injury movement if the Jazz weren't one of the most injured teams in the NBA this year.

The Jazz should just hold Burks out forever - then he won't EVER be injured again. Our FO is full of god-damn geniuses!
 
we gotta hold Burks out for the rest of the year so that the fan base buys the line that he's next year's big FA acquisition.

"Ya know, we really made two big additions in Exum and Burks. They're going to add a lot to our team. We also brought over Sviti Kashorvacheck, and he was an influential bench player in the Adriatic League. We expect to compete for the playoffs this year of course, but I wouldn't say I'd be disappointed if we didn't make it. I'm more concerned about overall team growth and not burning the cake."

Sviti Kashorvacheck has unreal shooting mechanics, doe.
 
Locke gave an update today. He said Burks is fully healed but the FO is taking extra precautions because they don't want him to come out too early and get another injury because his body isn't completely ready. He also said he expects Burks will be back before the end of the season. Last night Booner said he thought it could be any day.

Thanks for the update. It is appreciated.
 
We need to bring him back for two reasons... 1- He's good at basketball and we need more good players 2- I'm not saying we have to trade him, but he's not a trade chip other teams will value nearly as much if he doesn't come back and play. 5-10 healthy games out of the guy could give us more options to build the roster.

Or he gets injured again and he has no value.
