Jazz's Alec Burks: Undergoes ankle procedure

Burks underwent arthroscopic surgery Tuesday to clean out debris in his left knee and ankle.

Analysis:

Burks missed most of last season after fracturing his left fibula back in December. He was limited to just 31 games, sitting out all but three games after returning from the injury. This latest procedure isn't considered serious, and an official team release noted that Burks is expected back at full strength before training camp in the fall. Burks is expected to again serve in a sixth man role for the Jazz during the upcoming campaign, likely seeing minutes behind a starting backcourt of Dante Exum and Rodney Hood.
