Alec Burks' return will apparenlty have to wait.
The shooting guard, who has been out since Dec. 26 with a fractured ankle, is listed on the team's latest injury report as being out for tonight's game against the San Antonio Spurs. http://www.sltrib.com/sports/3733205-155/utah-jazz-alec-burks-to-make"; target="_blank">According to sources, there was a chance Burks could make his return for this game, but it appears he'll wait until later in the week. The Jazz host the Los Angeles Clippers on Friday and play at Denver on Sunday.
