Burks (shoulder) is considered a game-time decision to play Thursday against the Lakers, the Salt Lake Tribune reports.

Analysis:

Burks missed Monday's game against the Clippers due to a bruised left shoulder, which limited him to a partial participant at Tuesday's practice. Nonetheless, it appears Burks at least has a chance of suiting up Thursday, indicating his shoulder issue isn't expected to linger for long.
