Is he alive? Is there any updated timetable on his return?

I no longer factor him into long-term plans, but for this season alone, if we could add a serviceable Burks and healthy George Hill back to this rotation, watch out.
 
It was tweeted that after his workout tonight he dunked the ball while passing it between his legs mid air.

I expect him back shortly lol.
 
Wasn't training staff, just a lady who worked for the Jazz. Probably heard it through the grapevine, I'm thinking. It sounds about right though if the reports about Burks doing fancy dunks are true.

God damn it you are dense.
 
Im' wondering where his minutes come from even if he does come back.

Hill/Mack/Exum/Neto... He's not playing any PG.
Hood/Ingles He could see time here, but, at the expense of Ingles or Hood??? It's really tough to break in vs. those two. Maybe if Ingles comes back to Earth.
Hayward/Johnson ? Maybe. Johnson has been pretty good for us and Burks is a lil small for the position, but, in certain matchups this might be his best chance to see the floor.

Long story short, even if he comes back healthy I think you are looking at an 8mpg guy. Until we suffer the next injury anyway.
 
I guess exum is going to get benched.

I could see the jazz play him to see if they can increase his trade value.

I was trying to look at how minutes could be distributed but with Ingles play there just isn't any way for ME to figure it out. The jazz are 12 deep with players that need to play
