Utah Jazz guard Alec Burks walks off the court after the Jazz lost Game 5 against the Houston Rockets at the Toyota Center in Houston on Tuesday, May 8, 2018.
SALT LAKE CITY — As the 2017-18 Utah Jazz season came to a close earlier this week, Alec Burks proclaimed he was as healthy as he’s been at the end of a season in several years.
“It’s a blessing I got through the season healthy,” said Burks, who missed significant portions of the previous three seasons with an assortment of injuries.
Ironically, now that he’s finally 100 percent, Burks’ future with the team may be as tenuous as it’s been since he joined the Jazz as a rookie seven years ago.
