BOSTON -- Alec Burks took the first bus to the TD Garden on Friday morning, running through dummy sets with a few of his new coaches and teammates.
After a whirlwind few days, finding out he had been traded shortly before the news broke on Twitter around 6:30 p.m. ET on Wednesday night, Burks has been trying to get up to speed quickly and is set to make his Cleveland Cavaliers debut Friday night against the Boston Celtics.
"Opportunity is everything in this league," Burks said. "I feel like I have a great one here. Just trying to take advantage of it and help my new team win.
