Burks (ankle) will undergo surgery on his fractured left fibula.

Analysis:

Already out for at least the next six weeks, Burks was previously expected to avoid surgery. While it's unclear if the new prognosis will change his timeline, the good news is that he won't lose any time waiting, as the procedure is scheduled for Tuesday. Burks' minutes will likely be divided between a slew of different players, with Trey Burke taking on an increased scoring burden for the second unit.
