Jazz players say goodbye to Alec Burks

Alec Burks wasn’t much for post-game interviews. When reporters filled the locker room, the shooting guard preferred to slip between them, the way he might split defenders on his way to the rim, and make a silent escape.

But after news of Burks’ trade broke this week, his teammates wouldn’t let their appreciation go unspoken.

One of the best teammates I’ve had, he had some bad luck & never stopped working to get back to who we all knew him for. Everyday was upbeat & positive. We will all miss you round here, wish you nothing but the best @AlecBurks10!
