Since I was DVR'ing, I ran back 30 seconds before what they were doing and you can clearly see his arm get caught and wrenched between two other players. After that he was trying to play through it, but was obviously was getting shooting pains that caused him to move the arm in herky-jerky ways--which looked like weird spasms if you didn't realize the arm had just been wrenched.
That makes more sense. The broadcast only showed maybe 3 seconds of Burke just grimacing and not really showing what happened.
In any case, the fact he's injured, possibly for a large chunk of time, makes him even more expendable to me.

People trashed Dirk year after year about being a terrible defender. But he was consistently a solid and reliable TEAM defender. Nothing crazy about that limited comparison.
I think you took it a step too far there. We haven't even seen Bertans play and we're comparing him to Dallas Mavericks all-time block leader Dirk Nowitzki?!
14x All-Star, 12x all-NBA, 1x MVP, 1x Finals MVP, 1 NBA Championship: Dirk Nowitzki, the man, the myth, the legend.
