Alec Burks News, Rumors, Updates - Miami Heat

Will not have minutes monitored Coach Dwayne Casey said Burks will not be on a minutes restriction Friday, Mike Curtis of The Detroit News reports.

Impact Burks will make his 2022-23 season debut Friday and will not be under any restrictions. However, Coach Casey noted that Burks' body "is probably going to put him on a minutes restriction just because he hasn't done anything." With Cade Cunningham (leg) ruled out, however, Burks could be forced into a larger role.

Set to debut Friday Burks (foot) is available for Friday's game against the Knicks.

Impact Burks will take the floor for the first time this season following a lengthy absence as he recovered from offseason foot surgery. In 81 games last season, Burks averaged 11.7 points, 4.9 rebounds and 3.0 assists in 28.6 minutes per contest. It's unclear if he'll be on a minutes restriction coming off the extended absence, but he should have opportunities to contribute in the backcourt Friday with Cade Cunningham (lower leg) sidelined.

Ruled out Burks (foot) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against Boston.

Impact Burks was initially listed as questionable, suggesting he had a chance to make his season debut, but the point guard will ultimately be sidelined for at least one more game. Following Wednesday's contest, the Pistons have a back-to-back set starting Friday, so Burks will look to suit up for one of those contests, as it seems unlikely he'd be able to play in both following a lengthy absence after foot surgery.

Deemed questionable for Wednesday Burks (foot) is questionable for Wednesday's contest versus the Celtics.

Impact Burks is reportedly closing in on his season debut, and his questionable designation for Wednesday would seem to suggest it's on the table. The veteran guard averaged 28.6 minutes per game over his 81 appearances with the Knicks last year and should play a sizable bench role for Detroit once he's up to speed.

Still out Monday Burks (foot) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Pistons, Johnny Kane of Bally Sports Detroit reports.

Impact Burks participated in Sunday's practice, but he'll remain out for at least one more game while rehabbing his surgically repaired left foot. The veteran guard's return to practice, even if it was in a limited fashion, suggests he's close to making his season debut, but it's still unclear when exactly that'll be. Following Monday's game, Burks' next chance to suit up will come Wednesday against Boston.

Nearing season debut Burks (foot) took part in Sunday's practice, Omari Sankofa II of the Detroit Free Press reports.

Impact Pistons head coach Dwane Casey didn't reveal whether Burks was a full participant, but the 31-year-old's ability to get back on the court in some capacity could hint that his season debut is on the horizon. When deemed available to play, Burks, who has been sidelined while recovering from surgery to address a left navicular fracture, could usurp one of Killian Hayes, Cory Joseph or Hamidou Diallo from the rotation.
