Training with Jabari Parker: How the Bucks forward is working to get back

[daily_cut.NBA] Parker sustained the injury in a Dec. 15 game against the Phoenix Suns when his knee buckled while driving to the basket. The 20-year-old forward will miss the remainder of the season, but no further timetable has been given for his recovery following his Jan. 5 surgery.

The No. 2 overall pick in last year's NBA draft, Parker appeared in 25 games before the injury and averaged 12.3 points and 5.5 rebounds in 29.5 minutes.

The Bucks entered Wednesday's game 36–38, sixth in the Eastern Conference.
