However, the Mavericks are apparently not planning on waiting for Burke to do his research, as <a href="https://www.si.com/nba/mavericks/news/source-dallas-mavericks-trade-trey-burke-covid-issue-news-luka-doncic">Mike Fisher of Sports Illustrated and Dallas Basketball FanNation reports</a> that Dallas is seeking to trade Burke to avoid any complications and reach complete vaccination status within the team.</p><p>Fisher writes that the Mavericks are in the 90th percentile of vaccination rate within the league, and they hope to have every player on the roster vaccinated. This move to trade Burke is the first of potentially many actions that could be taken around the league as a result of the jab controversy. <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/friedell-slater-and-serrano/id986595124?i=1000537163597">Anthony Slater of The Athletic floated the idea</a> of the Golden State Warriors trading Andrew Wiggins if he continues to deny the jab, particularly given that San Francisco city mandates would disqualify Wiggins from playing home games for Golden State until he’s vaccinated. However, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/warriors-news-steve-kerrs-puzzling-response-to-andrew-wiggins-absence-from-practice-amid-vaccine-drama/">Slater reported yesterday that Wiggins felt “under the weather”</a> and missed practice, so perhaps that’s an indication that he did in fact receive the shot at some point in recent days.</p><p>In the case of Burke, he was already playing behind Luka Doncic and Jalen Brunson at point guard in Dallas, so the Mavericks won’t miss him too much if they can find a team willing to trade for him sans shot. They can also release him, but it would hurt them financially.</p><p>If more cities begin adopting the mandates that San Francisco and New York have, unvaccinated players in those markets will miss out on salary for any games missed. The NBA season is fast-approaching, with regular season games tipping off on Oct. 19. Burke still has time to get the jab before then, though it seems the Mavericks are steadfast in their decision to trade him based on Fisher’s reporting.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The Mavs lost to the Clippers, mostly because All-Star power forward Kristaps Porzingis suffered a knee injury that eventually required surgery.</p><p>As everyone knows, the future in Dallas is really bright with superstar Luka Doncic leading the way.

Burke signed with the Sixers in free agency this offseason after playing with the New York Knicks and Dallas Mavericks last season. He believes he and Ben Simmons can play together as well in the backcourt.</p><blockquote>“I think throughout stretches of the game, we can play together and I can be out there with the starting lineup at times,” Burke said, via the <a href="https://www.inquirer.com/sixers/trey-burke-sixers-76ers-ben-simmons-backcourt-knicks-mavericks-20190828.html?__vfz=medium%3Dsharebar">Philadelphia Inquirer</a>. “That is the competitor in Trey Burke. That is who I am and what I bring to Philadelphia, if you ask me.“I have some experience playing off the ball. The short time I was in Dallas, playing with Luka (Doncic) I felt we played really well together in our limited time together, even in New York I played off the ball. We have expectations as a team and I think we have a really complete team and I see myself coming in and having a good role, a good opportunity. I feel like I can be an impact player on the team, given a role and I am just ready to work.”</blockquote><p>Trey Burke began his NBA career with the Utah Jazz back in 2013 after being selected with the ninth overall pick out of the University of Michigan. Burke has played for the Jazz, Washington Wizards, Knicks and Mavs. He has career averages of 10.9 points, 2.1 rebounds and 3.6 assists in 361 games while shooting 40.8 percent from the field, 34.0 percent from beyond the arc and 80.0 percent from the free-throw line.</p><p>The Sixers’ projected starting lineup for next season is Ben Simmons, Josh Richardson, Tobias Harris, Al Horford and Joel Embiid. Burke, if he wins the backup job, is expected to run Philly’s offense when Simmons is on the bench getting a breather.</p><figure class="op-tracker"><iframe><script>  (function(i,s,o,g,r,a,m){i['GoogleAnalyticsObject']=r;i[r]=i[r]||function(){  (i[r].q=i[r].q||[]).push(arguments)},i[r].l=1*new Date();a=s.createElement(o),  m=s.getElementsByTagName(o)[0];a.async=1;a.src=g;m.parentNode.insertBefore(a,m)  })(window,document,'script','https://www.google-analytics.com/analytics.js','ga');  ga('create', 'UA-66147751-16', 'auto');  ga('set', 'campaignSource', 'Facebook');  ga('set', 'campaignMedium', 'Instant Article');  ga('set', 'title', ia_document.title);  ga('send', 'pageview');</script><iframe>    <script type="text/javascript">        window._taboola = window._taboola || [];        _taboola.push({            article: 'auto',            ref_url: 'http://instantarticles.fb.com'        });        !function (e, f, u, i) {            if (!document.getElementById(i)) {                e.async = 1;                e.src = u;                e.id = i;                f.parentNode.insertBefore(e, f);            }        }(document.createElement('script'),            document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0],            'https://cdn.taboola.com/libtrc/clutchpoints-clutchpoints/trk.js',            'tb_loader_script');        if (window.performance) {          if (typeof window.performance.mark == 'function') {            window.performance.mark('tbl_ic');          }        }    </script>    </iframe></iframe></figure></article>    </body></html>
