Trey Burke - Fractured Finger on Right Hand

I don't know if it does. Do you remember when Blake Griffin went down in the pre-season prior to his first season? He spent the season on the bench watching how guys run plays, the pace of the games, etc, etc. Once he got back on the court he was ready to play.


I do think Burke could benefit quite a bit from watching the plays develop and seeing himself in each situation. I really do think this will give him a chance to watch and learn, and hopefully he can come in and feel a bit more comfortable on the court. Who knows? He could even take another vacation in Spokane with the Jedi Master.

Either way, conditioning will be an issue, at the very least in use of that hand/arm. You're right, watching can still help, but can it do as much as real in-game starting experience?

This sucks, when I saw it on from my PC I couldn't really see how it happened but when I saw the replay on TV last night it looked like CP grabbed his hand pulled and twisted very sneaky quick like, but I would need to see it more to really believe that happened. Although CP does have a history of being a bit dirty (sucker punching man bags being the most noted).

On a side note I just broke my pinky 3 weeks ago and needed two pins, so after surgery they waited one week to take off the big wrapping/padding, then they made a custom brace/cast thing so I could move it more freely then just a regular splint but still have protection on it and I have to wear that for 5 weeks, so that would be a total of 6 weeks. Obviously different fingers and breaks and I don't play sports for a living so time tables would be different let alone getting agility and movement back in the finger as well as getting back into game shape. So just wanted to throw my personal experience out there.

The difference between you and Burke is you aren't worth about 16 million over the next 5 years, and keeping you out an additional 6 weeks didn't put your organization in a position to make itself A LOT better.
 
@Trey_Burke3: 8-12 weeks is very unreasonable people and idk who made that up. I appreciate the support and prayers but 4-6 weeks is more likely. Thanks

Interesting.

Even more interesting is that he tweeted it during or shortly after surgery. The kid is amazing.


Also, from DJJazzyJody, who first reported 8-12 weeks: "I just realized I made an egregious error reporting about Trey Burke's rehab. An NBA source gave me the 8-12 week timetable, not his agent."

"The source sent me a text seconds after I texted Benji Burke. I didn't notice until now that my phone switched conversations. I apologize."

So that just about wraps up this mystery
Scooby-Doo-Where-Are-You-Hassle-in-the-Castle-1-03-scooby-doo-17176829-1067-800.jpg
the only detail left hanging out there unsolved is why Alfonso Clark Burke III is known as Trey when his dad is Benji Burke?

Even Locke in his tipoff today said that the 8-12 week time table seemed extreem, Usually a 4-6 week injury
 
So this makes me a little happier. I mean I want Burke to be 100%, don't want to screw anything up.
 
lol right now i'm probably play through a torn labrum in my left arm as a 16 year old. And i can't get the suurgery for 5 months minimum cause league starts 3 weeks ago.

If i can play through a bad injury, trey should.

TROLLLL TIMEE

but i have a torn labrum right now.

Are you a pro? do you make money playing?
Are you just being stupid wanting to mess something up for the rest of you life?

A doctor who is a jazz fan talking about Burkes' injury. I gave me a chuckle.

Wow, good read. In addition to the Old Farmer story, how about this blast on Kobe:

So let’s not join in on voting a bad person into the Immortal Superhero Everyone Worship Me Hall Of Fame for doing what most people in his situation would do. Yes, you read that right. I called Kobe a bad person. I will not contribute to the general press bow-down to praise the guy who was married with a new baby during a time when he should have gone to trial for rape, and would have had he not had millions of dollars and the backing of countless press corps to coerce and disparage a poor Colorado hotel worker (“Although I truly believe this encounter between us was consensual, I recognize now that she did not and does not view this incident the same way I did” sounds like rape to me).

Thought I covered that in the bolded part, my bad should've added I don't make any money playing sports and sit on my butt behind a PC for a living. Oh and I'm a big wuss and it took me 3 weeks to start playing flag football again, with the custom brace thingy on.

Also just me being a dork but now after the surgery I see he had the EXACT same break (phalanx) I had, just mine is on my left pinky (obviously big difference) just my dorkness thinking it's a cool coincidence that my first ever broken bone is the same as the new PG and happened within a week or two.
