Jabari Parker out for 12 months with ACL tear

Xinhua, February 10, 2017 Adjust font size:

The Milwaukee Bucks announced Thursday that forward Jabari Parker will go through a left knee surgery and the recovery and rehabilitation period will take about a year.

Parker teared his left knee ACL in the Bucks' 116-88 loss to Miami on Wednesday. He went down with 6 minutes, 34 seconds left in the third quarter after making minimal contact with a defender with his body on a drive to the lane. The one-year recovery and rehabilitation period means he will miss the beginning of next season.

Parker was averaging a career-high 20.1 points and 6.2 rebounds as the Bucks' second-leading scorer.

It was the second time in three years Parker has suffered a season-ending left knee injury. An injury to the same ACL in December 2014 knocked Parker out of his rookie season after 25 games. Endit
