Alec Burks News, Rumors, Updates - Miami Heat

Questionable for Monday Burks (back) is questionable for Monday's game against the Hornets, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact Burks has missed two straight games due to back soreness and is in danger of missing a third. Haywood Highsmith (knee) and Duncan Robinson (back) are also questionable, so it's unclear what Miami's depth will look like at the moment.

Ruled out Saturday Burks (back) is out for Saturday's game against the Bulls, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Impact Burks was deemed questionable in the injury report Friday, and the veteran sharpshooter will miss a second consecutive contest with back soreness. Terry Rozier and Duncan Robinson will likely soak up most of Miami's backcourt minutes off the bench with Burks out. Burks' next chance to play will come against the Hornets on Monday.

Deemed questionable for Saturday Burks (back) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game versus the Bulls.

Impact Burks is in danger of missing his second straight contest Saturday due to back soreness. If the veteran guard is forced to sit out, Terry Rozier and Duncan Robinson will likely soak up the majority of Miami's backcourt minutes off the bench.

Won't go Friday Burks (back) has been ruled out for Friday's game against Minnesota, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact Burks will sit out of Friday's contest due to back soreness, and his next chance to play will come Saturday against the Bulls. The veteran combo guard has started in each of the club's last three outings, and while he's sidelined, Duncan Robinson and Davion Mitchell are candidates for a bump in minutes.

Iffy for Friday Burks (back) has been listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Timberwolves.

Impact Burks has started the last three games for Miami but might miss Friday's game against Minnesota due to a back issue. The 33-year-old veteran is averaging 6.4 points, 2.7 rebounds and 1.1 assists per game, shooting 40.7 percent and a career-high 41.9 percent from beyond the arc this season for the Heat.

MARCH 6, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Logs 12 points in spot start Burks accumulated 12 points (4-5 FG, 4-5 3Pt), three rebounds, three assists and one steal in 25 minutes during Sunday's 116-112 overtime loss to the Knicks.

Impact Burks' insertion into the starting lineup was a bit of a surprise, as Duncan Robinson was considered to be the next man up with Andrew Wiggins (ankle) and Jaime Jaquez (ankle) sidelined. Burks responded with an excellent showing beyond the arc, taking all five of his shots from deep and connecting on four of them. The 14-year vet will revert back to the bench when Wiggins and Jaquez return, leaving him with zero fantasy value.

Knicks overcame a 19-point deficit to beat the Heat 116-112 in overtime

Jalen Brunson scored 31 points and the New York Knicks overcame a 19-point deficit to beat the Miami Heat 116-112 in overtime Sunday night

Starting sans Wiggins Burks will start Sunday's game against the Knicks.

Impact With Andrew Wiggins (ankle) and Jaime Jaquez (ankle) sidelined, Burks will slide into the starting lineup. In his lone start this season, Burks posted 13 points and seven rebounds in 26 minutes during a Feb. 10 loss to the Celtics.

MARCH 2, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Solid showing off bench Burks closed Wednesday's 115-101 loss to the Thunder with 11 points (3-8 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 4-5 FT), nine rebounds, one assist, one block and two steals over 28 minutes.

Impact Burks returned to a bench role after starting in the loss to the Celtics on Feb. 10, but he delivered another solid outing. The veteran sharpshooter has scored in double digits in his last two games, but given the inconsistencies of his role in the rotation, he's not likely to be a reliable fantasy option outside of the very deep formats. That could change in the final weeks of the regular season, though.

FEBRUARY 13, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Slides back to bench Burks isn't part of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Thunder, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Impact Burks drew a spot start Monday in place of Tyler Herro (illness), but he'll retreat to the bench Wednesday with Herro healthy. Burks has appeared in 27 games for the Heat this season and is averaging 6.0 points and 2.3 rebounds across 16.5 minutes.

FEBRUARY 13, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Pops for 13 in spot start Burks racked up 13 points (5-7 FG, 3-5 3Pt) and seven rebounds in 26 minutes during Monday's 103-85 loss to the Celtics.

Impact The veteran guard got his first start of the season, taking the place of Tyler Herro (illness), and Burks was one of the few Heat players to have any kind of shooting success against a stifling Celtics defense. Burks hadn't scored in double digits since Jan. 7 and was a DNP - Coach's Decision for nine of the 15 games in between, and there may not be a consistent spot in the rotation for him once Herro and Jaime Jaquez (illness) are healthy.

Starting Monday Burks is in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Celtics.

Impact It'll be the first start of the season for the veteran swingman, who's making just his third appearance since Jan. 17 in the absence of Tyler Herro (illness). Burks has averaged just 4.9 points, 2.4 rebounds, 1.0 assists and 0.6 steals in 16.1 minutes over his last seven appearances, but he's set for a boost in playing time Monday.

Produces donut in loss Burks provided zero points (0-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt), one rebound and one assist in five minutes during Saturday's 136-100 loss to the Jazz.

Impact Burks continues to play limited minutes off the bench, having scored double-digits only five times this season, In what was easily the Heat's worst performance of the season, many of their secondary pieces were afforded additional run. Burks was not one of those players, indicating his role on this team is not a favorable one.

Herro makes go-ahead jumper with 0.5 seconds left as Heat beat Magic 89-88

Tyler Herro hit a 19-foot jumper with 0.5 seconds left to give the Miami Heat an 89-88 win over the Orlando Magic

DECEMBER 27, 2024 • Associated Press

Scores 17 points off bench Thursday Burks finished Thursday's 89-88 win over the Magic with 17 points (4-5 FG, 3-3 3Pt, 6-7 FT), six rebounds and three steals over 32 minutes.

Impact In a game where neither team eclipsed 90 points, Burks finished Thursday's contest as the Heat's second-leading scorer behind Tyler Herro (20). Burks has seen significant playing time off the bench in his last two outings after being a healthy DNP in Miami's prior seven contests, and part of that has been due to injuries to Jimmy Butler (illness), Josh Richardson (heel) and Dru Smith (Achilles). Burks will look to carry his momentum into Saturday's game against the Hawks.

DECEMBER 27, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Scores 12 off bench Burks finished with 12 points (4-8 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal across 24 minutes during Monday's 110-95 win over the Nets.

Impact Miami were without Jimmy Butler (illness) for a second straight game, while Terry Rozier sat out with a knee issue. Burks doesn't offer much upside when the Heat are at full strength, but he produced when his name was called upon Monday. Despite a very limited workload this season, Burks is playing quite well with a 47.4 percent mark from beyond the arc.

DECEMBER 24, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Barely sees floor in win Burks notched two points (1-1 FG) and three rebounds over six minutes during Wednesday's 98-94 victory over the Hornets.

Impact Burks played a season-low six minutes in the win, continuing an underwhelming start to the season. To this point, Burks has scored double-digits only twice, while also racking up six DNP-CD's. Despite his offensive skill set, it appears as though Burks could be on the outside looking in when it comes to regular and consistent minutes.

NOVEMBER 28, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Matches season high off bench Burks totaled 15 points (5-9 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal in 31 minutes during Sunday's 123-118 overtime win over the Mavericks.

Impact Burks light it up from deep off the bench in extended time Sunday, leading all Heat players in threes made while pacing the bench in scoring and assists. Burks matched his season high in scoring, a mark he also posted Nov. 2. Burks has now connected on at least three threes in three contests this year.

Butler scores season-high 33, Heat hold off Mavericks 123-118 in OT

Jimmy Butler scored a season-high 33 points, leading the Miami Heat to a 123-118 overtime win over the Dallas Mavericks

NOVEMBER 25, 2024 • Associated Press

Plays well in win Burks registered seven points (3-8 FG, 1-6 3Pt), six rebounds and three assists across 19 minutes during Monday's 106-89 win over the 76ers.

Impact Miami were very shorthanded for this contest, and Burks made the most of the handful of minutes he received. Miami is off until Nov. 24 against Dallas, but it remains to be seen if Terry Rozier (foot) and Jaime Jaquez (ankle) will be ready for that contest.
