Anyone know when Alec Burks is returning to the line up?

[fishonjazz]

He had successful surgery on december 30th. Wednesday will be 9 weeks since his surgery. Why have we not heard any real updates about his date to return to the lineup?

My inside sources say he's healthy. Just waiting for the doctors to say when.

when the jazz decide whether they're tanking or not

Tony Jones said he would not be on this road trip. I think another week.

There's no good reason to announce a return date until they are certain. If they say it's a week and it turns into two fans would be going crazy.

He was shooting before the game on Saturday.

The media should be reporting on this even if the team doesn't make an official announcement.

I have a friend who said they saw him in the VIP dinner room before a game and that he said that he would be back if they made the playoffs. That seems like a very long time. I trust the source but I know it sounds kind of like Best Buy. Also does not preclude him coming back earlier than that but I did not take it as encouraging.

i'm sure looking forward to Burks being back so we don't have to play our sucky PGs

 

[franklin]

Who cares? Hood has the spot locked down. We don't need another average bench chucker.

 

[Douchebag K]

you're funny

Utah was playing amazing basketball with Burks in the line up.

Oh wait...

I read this as "If I come back, we make the playoffs." There. That's better.

Do you think Burks is better than ingles or cj?
Do you think the jazz lack scoring off the bench?
Do you think the jazz could use a player who can get to the line?

If you answer yes to any of these questions then having Burks > not having Burks

Not enough to make a difference. I'm kind of losing interest in the season.

Considering Alec is a better 3PT shooter than Hood, Hayward, Ingles or Johnson AND can get to the rim, yes, I guess we don't really need him. After all, it's pretty apparent Lindsey's goal is to NOT make the playoffs,

Don't be utter ignoramus idiots!!! He puts Neto and ingles on the bench. He adds a ton to the team. Shut the hell up join a fakers message boards of your not fans of our players!! Burks is great for our team!! Live with it losers!!

Are you joking or are you truly happy with the Jazz wing depth?
