Fantasy Impact
Burks had been an early bright spot for New York early in the season, averaging 20.7 points, 3.7 rebounds and 3.7 assists over the first three games. Despite not playing since December 27th, head coach Tom Thibodeau says "he's coming along very well". If you were an early season believer in Burks, you may be closer to reinserting him into your lineup. On the other hand, he may be someone to flag on the waiver-wire when his eventual activation comes to fruition.
