Alec Burks Injury Update

The following is a medical update on Utah Jazz guard Alec Burks:

Following multiple medical consultations, Burks underwent a successful arthroscopic procedure Tuesday to debride his left ankle. The procedure was performed in New York City by foot and ankle specialist Dr. Martin O’Malley.

Burks will return to Salt Lake City to begin his rehabilitation and will remain out indefinitely. Further updates will be provided when appropriate.

The sixth-year guard averaged 13.3 points on a career-best 40.5 percent three-point shooting, with 3.5 rebounds and 2.0 assists in 25.7 minutes per game during the 2015-16 season. He was originally selected by the Jazz in the first round (12th overall) of the 2011 NBA Draft.

Damn. Was hoping he'd be back up to full strength soon.

I think it's time we reconsider the partnership with UofU healthcare. Starting to think these injuries aren't all a coincidence.

Title should read:

Burks out indefinitely before/after ankle surgery

 

[tleikheen]

bummer ....more Mack at PG and Exum having to play SG instead of PG

To me this slows Exum's progress and guarantees the Jazz slow pace continues

Do tell ??

Martin has shaky hands

Alec "Can't get right" Burks..

Spoiler

As long as he's back 100% for the playoffs I'll be happy tho, he'll be better then ever.

 

[Ellipse]

I no longer expect to see Burks play for this team, so this "setback" is meh.

 

[MT Steve]

Jesus Christ, Jazz.

If a meteor was headed straight towards Salt Lake City and only the Jazz knew about it, nobody else would know anything until the day it hit and we all died.
