Trey Burke displays new maturity — and hairdo — in return to Utah

SALT LAKE CITY — Trey Burke left Salt Lake City in the summer of 2016 as a disgruntled 23-year-old.

After three seasons with the Utah Jazz, the former lottery pick was traded to the Washington Wizards for a 2021 second-round draft pick.

Now 25, the Columbus, Ohio native returned to Vivint Arena Friday as a member of the New York Knicks.

He seemed happy with no animosity whatsoever toward the organization while sporting new-look cornrows. Burke also traded in his longtime No. 3 jersey for No. 23 — in honor of childhood hero Michael Jordan.

"I just wanted a different look," Burke said.
