Burks (ankle) will miss a fourth consecutive game Friday, the Salt Lake Tribune reports.

Analysis:

Burks has missed Utah's past three games with a severe ankle sprain and has not been able to practice since being injured either. While Burks reportedly was moving well at Friday's shootaround, he wants to complete more live action before returning to the court. Thus, Burks' owners should monitor his progress ahead of Sunday's game against the Thunder.
