Utah's Alec Burks will not need immediate shoulder surgery

Gotta be kidding me, one of my favorite players in the team. I wish him a quick recovery. Rookies, it's your time...

Damn. That sucks

My biggest issue is that it'll set back the timeframe for him to really get comfortable in Quin's system. The most important thing is that he gets and stays healthy for when the Jazz (hopefully) can put the pieces in place to contend in the West. That's not going to be for a couple of years (at best) so it's better to fix it now, than to wait and have it get worse or heap prize his season for next year. Like Enes with his shoulder, injuries like this that require surgery need time to heal properly and build strength back up.

If it's his labrum - it's a no brainer (especially in lieu of extension) to get surgery now and rehab rather than risk ****ing it up permanently by playing this season. It looks like the season is already a lost cause in terms of making the playoffs, so as much as I want to cry about my favorite Jazz man having a potential breakout season delayed, it is better for his career if he opts for surgery.

Great post.
 
Hopefully there will be an established team when he comes back to kill it as our 6th man, where we know he flourishes.

Haha - let's wait for something to be confirmed before we put him on the IR. I know he was great as a 6th man, but he's a starter and has to be for us to be successful - at least with our current roster.

Burks shoulder had been bothering him, replay of the Awfalo foul shows burk with a sleeve on it. Awfalo made it worse.
 
i hope that the nurse can't find afflalo's veins to do blood work so she has to slap him on the hand for like two minutes for the veins to come out
 
Sounds like you can scratch the 'might' from the thread title...
