Suns fan favorite Pat Burke will be continuing his basketball career. The 34-year-old signed with Polish champion Asseco Prokam this week, continuing his tour of European basketball to yet another outpost.
Burke hooked on with Khimky in the Russian League last season, where he played in 11 games, after some bad luck in October.
After leaving the Suns in 2007, Burke looked like he had a decent chance to make the Golden State Warriors. But during tranining camp in Hawaii, Burke felt horrible and couldn’t understand why. Three days after returning to the Valley, he had a Grant Hill-like emergency appendectomy — which explained the problem but left him jobless. That looks like it might have been his last shot in the NBA.
