Alec Burks joined the Philadelphia 76ers in the middle of a career-best season. Now he’s uncertain of his role down the stretch.
Before he arrived in South Philly, Alec Burks was averaging 16.1 points per game as a core member of the rotation in Golden State. In the final year of his contract, he appeared well on his way to a major payday this summer. Then came the Philadelphia 76ers.
The Sixers acquired Burks at the trade deadline. Since then, his minutes and production have been far more erratic due to Philadelphia’s depth and talent on the perimeter.
