Alec Burks: (Shoulder) Out For Season
Burks (shoulder) will undergo season-ending surgery Wednesday and is expected to be ready for the start of training camp in 2015.
Analysis:
He had missed the previous two games with the ailment, and with the Jazz clearly focused on the future, Burks' long-term health was of utmost importance. He was averaging 13.9 points with career highs of 4.2 rebounds and three assists in 33.3 minutes per game. Rodney Hood and Dante Exum figure to see significant minutes over the rest of the season, with Hood figuring to be the starting shooting guard for the foreseeable future. Both players are worth adding in mid-sized leagues.
