Alec Burks: (Shoulder) Starting Monday

Burks (shoulder) will start Monday's contest at Sacramento, the Jazz's official site reports.

Analysis:

Burks will miss just two games due to left shoulder inflammation, but offseason surgery will eventually be required to shore up the ailment. Prior to aggravating the shoulder on Dec. 1, the four-year pro scored in double digits in four consecutive contests, averaging 15 points (on 43 percent shooting), four rebounds, 3.8 assists, and 0.8 steals in 34 minutes. Such a workload may be hard to rely upon, though, as the season continues onward.
