With Shake Milton hurt, is it finally Trey Burke’s time?

During Monday’s gritty win over the Atlanta Hawks, Shake Milton went down with a knee injury. While trying to attempt posting up, Milton hyperextended his left knee, resulting in a bone bruise and a mild knee sprain.

Milton has already been ruled out for the remainder of the Western road trip. This trip will last through their game at Portland on November 8th. Upon their arrival, Milton is expected to be reevaluated.
