SALT LAKE CITY -- Utah Jazz rookie Trey Burke will undergo surgery on a broken finger on his shooting hand. Burke will have the operation on Tuesday morning in Salt Lake City. Pins will be inserted to stabilize the point guards right index finger, which he fractured during a 106-74 preseason loss to the Los Angeles Clippers on Saturday night. The Jazz did not announce a timetable for Burkes return, but he is expected to miss anywhere from eight to 12 weeks. "Its unfortunate that it would happen now in training camp," coach Tyrone Corbin said after Mondays practice. "He was learning a new game and the way to play it and he was making great strides. And now he wont have a chance to be in a game for a little while. But he can learn in different ways." Burke was penciled in as a starter after the Jazz acquired his rights from the Minnesota Timberwolves in a draft night trade. Burke spent two seasons at Michigan, leading Wolverines to the national championship game as a sophomore. He averaged 18.6 points, 6.7 assists, 3.2 rebounds and 1.6 steals while shooting 46.3 per cent from the field and 38.4 per cent from 3-point range in his final collegiate season before turning pro. Corbin said the Jazz will work closely with Burke to keep him from falling behind during his absence. "Well have him watching," Corbin said. "Were going to miss him on the floor, but were going to do some different things with him to keep getting him up to speed." Veteran point guard John Lucas III likely will be the starter until Burke recovers. Lucas signed with the Jazz as a free agent during the off-season. Lucas has appeared in 174 games during five NBA seasons, making a pair of starts with the Chicago Bulls in the 2011-12 season. He has career averages of 5.1 points and 1.5 assists. Lucas doesnt feel extra pressure with his role suddenly changed from backup mentor to starter. "Im going to come in and do exactly what Ive been doing," Lucas said. "Getting everybody involved. Keep knocking down shots. Keep trying to get wins." Alec Burks, who ran the offence in limited minutes a season ago, could potentially slide over to the point to help out while Burke is sidelined. Beyond using Burks as an emergency point guard, the Jazz will look into trade options and signing potential free agents to shore up their backcourt depth. Currently, Scott Machado and Lester Hudson, who both joined the team in preseason camp, are the only other point guard options on the Jazz roster. Air Max 1 Cheap UK .

His players seem to feel the same way, considering the way theyve been contending for a post-season berth. Justin Masterson pitched effectively into the seventh inning, Nick Swisher hit a two-run homer and Cleveland completed a three-game sweep of the Los Angeles Angels with a 3-1 victory Wednesday. "Weve got guys in here that want to be in the playoffs, and were working our butts off to try and get there," Swisher said. The Indians, who began the day 5 1/2 games behind first-place Detroit in the AL Central and 3 1/2 behind Oakland in the race for the second wild card spot, improved to 69-58 and surpassed last seasons win total with 35 games to spare. "Im enjoying myself," said Francona, who guided the Boston Red Sox to a pair of World Series titles. "I thought this was the right place -- I knew it was -- and its been everything I hoped it would be. I love the people I work with. Im enjoying this team and trying to see if we can get better together. Its been fun." Masterson (14-9) allowed a run and five hits over 6 2-3 innings, tied a season high with five walks and struck out seven just 10 days after giving up five runs over 4 1-3 innings against the Angels at Cleveland in his shortest outing of the season. The right-hander, who made his big league debut against the Angels in April 2008, is 4-0 with a 1.87 ERA in nine career starts against them. "It wasnt easy. I mean, you look up in the fourth inning and I think Justin had more balls than strikes," Francona said. "But he had good movement and he kind of bobbed and weaved through their lineup. He only had probably one inning where he really cruised." The Angels put the potential tying and go-ahead runs in scoring position in the seventh before Masterson fanned Erick Aybar with his 110th and final pitch for the second out. Rich Hill came on and retired Josh Hamilton with a tremendous assist from third baseman Lonnie Chisenhall, who robbed the Angels slugger of a hit with a diving stop in the hole and threw him out. "I feel a little disappointed that I only went 6 2-3 innings, because the goal is to get as deep as I can," Masterson said. "I had some good movement early in the game, got a lot of gground balls and got some great defensive plays behind me.dddddddddddd" The Indians got an insurance run in the ninth when Mike Aviles scored on Dane De La Rosas second wild pitch of the inning. Cody Allen pitched a scoreless eighth for Cleveland and Chris Perez got three outs for his 20th save in 24 attempts. The Indians bullpen had a 1.29 ERA and stranded 24 of 25 inherited baserunners during the teams 6-3 road trip. Jerome Williams (5-10) yielded two runs and six hits in 6 1-3 innings with six strikeouts and two walks. The right-hander is 0-8 with a 6.79 ERA over his last 12 starts and his only victory at home this season came in a 12-0 rout of Seattle on May 21. "Everybody was tired today, and it would have been an easy day to just show up," said Francona, who used nine pitchers in Tuesday nights 14-inning win. "We need to get wins like this." The Angels scored in the sixth when Hamilton led off with a single and came all the way around on Hank Congers one-out double into the right field corner. Los Angeles put runners at the corners in the second and fourth innings, but Masterson escaped the first jam with a strikeout of Peter Bourjos and the second on a flyball by Andrew Romine. "His ball was moving pretty well and was obviously sinking," Bourjos said. "We had some opportunities to blow the game open early, but we didnt take advantage of it." NOTES: Romine started at 2B for Angels for the first time this season in place of Howie Kendrick, who has missed 15 games because of a hyperextended left knee. ...
