    Alec Burks will undergo left shoulder surgery Wednesday morning and miss the remainder of the season.

    The Utah Jazz guard was averaging 13.9 points, a career-high 4.2 rebounds and 3.0 assists per game this season, but could not play with the same abandon that typified his play his first two years because of pain.
