Alec Burks: (Shoulder) Plans To Have Surgery In Offseason

Burks (shoulder), who is officially listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Kings, has been pain-free over the weekend despite that fact that he'll need surgery this offseason, the Salt Lake Tribune reports.

Analysis:

Burks has dealt with a lingering shoulder injury since college that was re-aggravated when he received a Flagrant 2 foul from Arron Afflalo on Dec. 1. The fourth-year player has seemingly dodged a bullet however, and it seems that he'll be able to put off surgery until the season is over. When considering that he has deemed himself pain-free, there's no reason to believe he won't be the same player he was before Afflalo gave him a scare.
