Trey Burke has become a forgotten man in the Utah Jazz rotation but says he still gets up to play against the Minnesota Timberwolves, the team that drafted him three years ago.
“I think about it every time I play against them — it motivates me. That’s one of the teams I play really well against. It’s just motivation, that’s how it’s been my whole life, the underdog who’s overlooked.”
