Jazz wing Alec Burks to make season debut soon

Alec Burks of the Jazz will make his season debut soon.

Per ESPN, Jazz wing Alec Burks is nearing his season debut after recovering from ankle surgery, as he returned to practice this week. The return of the explosive Burks, 25, who has been sidetracked by several injuries since averaging 14 points per game in 2013-14, will present a welcome challenge for coach Quin Snyder. He must figure out how to split playing time between Burks and Joe Ingles, who leads the league in 3-point percentage (.478) and has been a key reserve all season.
