Burks (ankle) has fractured his ankle and is expected to miss a minimum of six weeks, Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo reports.

Analysis:

Burks underwent an MRI on Sunday morning and it officially revealed a fracture in his left fibula. He's not expected to undergo surgery, but he'll start the long road to recovery moving forward. The original timetable looks to be a minimum of six weeks, which would likely bring him back sometime in the middle of February. With Burks out indefinitely, guards Trey Burke and Raul Neto will be the players that should see an increase in playing time.
