It’s unclear how long for, but Milwaukee Bucks’ Jabari Parker left the court during the third quarter of his team’s win over the Phoenix Suns and did not come back.
PARKER INJURES KNEE
While it’s unsure if he will face time away, rookie Jabari Parker looked in pain last night.
Via AP:
Milwaukee Bucks forward Jabari Parker left the Milwaukee Bucks’ game against the Phoenix Suns early in the third quarter because of a left knee sprain.
The Bucks said Monday night Parker would not return.
Parker’s knee appeared to buckle on a drive to the basket before he collided with the Suns’ P.J. Tucker, and Parker was unable to get to his feet immediately afterward.
Parker, the Bucks’ first-round draft pick this year and the second player chosen overall, had to be carried off the court by teammates to the locker room.
Parker had eight points in 15 minutes. He’s averaging 12.5 points and 5.6 rebounds per game.
REGGIE MILLER SAYS MJ WAS TEN TIMES BETTER THAN KOBE
During a conversation on The Dan Patrick Show on Tuesday, NBA great Reggie Miller made the claim that Michael Jordan was a much, much better basketball player than Kobe Bryant could ever hope to be (skip ahead to the 5:16 mark in the video clip below). Check out the whole interview actually, it’s pretty cool.
He isn’t short-changing Kobe though.
Congrats to the Black Mamba (Kobe) on passing the Black Cat (MJ), two of the best to ever do it.. #GreatnessPersonified
