Bucks' Jabari Parker sprains knee and will not return
Milwaukee Bucks forward Jabari Parker suffered a sprained left knee on Wednesday and will not return.
It did not look good. Parker's left leg buckled on a drive and he needed help off the floor. This is the same left knee that needed ACL surgery during his rookie season. He is almost certainly going to be reevaluated in the next 24 hours. If he needs to miss time, Mirza Teletovic and Michael Beasley could be asked to step up. Giannis Antetokounmpo could also play more four to open up minutes for the wings.
Among the 34 forwards playing at least 30 minutes per game this year, Parker's .530 effective field goal percentage comes in at 15th. He was in the middle of a breakout before the injury, with a career-high 20.2 points per game, along with 6.2 rebounds and 2.8 assists.
