Parker's (knee) rehabilitation is "going well," according to coach Jason Kidd, the AP reports. Kidd noted, "We made sure that we kept him around the team, didn't want to disconnect. He looks extremely well,"
Parker had surgery in early January. The Bucks will be careful with the rookie and will not push him to be ready for the 2015-16 season. He could be a player that would make a nice player to stash in deeper keeper leagues.

Parker had successful surgery on his torn left ACL on Monday but is still expected to miss the rest of the 2014-15 season.
Parker suffered the season-ending ACL injury during the Dec. 15 game against Phoenix. The Bucks are still unable to give a specific timetable for his return, and most importantly that means that Parker is still in danger of missing a portion of the 2015-16 season. His knee's response to rehab will be the ultimate determining factor, although the Bucks are expected to release further information on the longevity of his absence in the near future.
Tue Dec 16 201422:50Jabari Parker: Out For The Season With Torn ACL
Parker will miss the rest of the season with a torn ACL, ESPN's Marc Stein reports.
This is obviously devastating news for the Bucks, the NBA and Parker's fantasy owners. He injured his knee in Monday's game, and the injury came when he was playing some of his best basketball of the season. In 25 games, Parker averaged 12.3 points, 5.5 rebounds and 1.2 steals while shooting 49 percent from the field and 69.7 percent from the line. While those in single-season leagues can cut bait with Parker, owners in dynasty leagues should hold the promising young forward. He will likely never be a superstar, but he could make multiple All-Star teams, and the fact that he was able to average more than a steal per game, opens up the range of categories he could be an asset in down the road. He will need to work on his free-throw shooting and three-point shooting, as well as his rebounding, but right now the most important think for Parker is that he is able to recover from this early setback in his NBA career. Look for Khris Middleton to be the primary beneficiary in terms of playing time and shots for the Bucks.
Tue Dec 16 201418:57Jabari Parker: (Knee) Won't Play Wednesday
Parker (knee) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game.
Meanwhile, Yahoo! Sports' Adrian Wojnarowski reported that Parker will travel back to Milwaukee for an MRI Tuesday night, with the results coming Wednesday. For now, it seems like Parker will probably miss at least a few games, considering how bad the injury looked, but it's too soon to make any snap judgments. Continue to monitor the situation, and look for Khris Middleton to be the primary beneficiary if Parker misses significant time.
Mon Dec 15 201422:58Jabari Parker: Leaves Game With Sprained Knee
Parker will not return to Monday's game against the Suns after he suffered a left knee sprain in the third quarter, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Parker's left knee buckled during a drive to the basket Monday and he had to be carried off the court by his teammates. The official designation of a left knee sprain is still somewhat ambiguous in terms of how much time he could potentially miss, and so he'll likely undergo further testing to determine the exact severity of the sprain.

Parker injured his left knee during the third quarter of Monday's game against the Suns and had to be carried off the court, The Arizona Republic reports.
Parker's left knee buckled while driving to the basket and he seemed to be in immediate pain after the incident. While the Bucks haven't released a statement about the severity of the rookie's injury quite yet, it seems highly unlikely that he'll be able to return to the game.

Parker had 15 points (7-12 FG, 1-2 FT), five rebounds two assists, and two steals in 36 minutes against the Mavericks on Sunday.
The rookie is clearly being given a chance by Coach Jason Kidd, as this marks the third game in a row where he has played 30 plus minutes. His production remains that of a rookie, but his abundance of playing time will only benefit him in the future.

Parker scored 22 points (11-15 FG) with eight rebounds and three assists in 38 minutes in the loss to the Cavaliers on Tuesday.
After going to the free throw line 14 times in the Saturday loss to Houston, Parker did not get a freebie in Cleveland. He has scored 20.5 points in his last two games and received extra minutes after Ersan Ilyasova (face contusion) was knocked out of the game in the second quarter.

Parker had 19 points (3-7 FG, 13-14 FT), nine rebounds, five assists, and two steals in 32 minutes Saturday.
Over his last eight games, Parker is averaging 12.8 points, 6.3 rebounds and 1.5 steals with 49 percent shooting from the floor and 71 percent from the line, huge improvements from the beginning of the season. He's looked more comfortable playing the four and is looking like he'll be locked in as a top 100 fantasy player for the rest of the season, particularly if he can get to the line 14 times as he did Saturday.

Parker scored 15 points (5-12 FG, 1-1 3P, 4-6 FT) with six rebounds, three assists, two steals and a block in 27 minutes during Friday's ugly loss to the Raptors.
Nothing much went right for the Bucks in a 41-point loss, but Parker was able to put up solid numbers. He's now scored in double digits in four games in a row, and will try to keep his streak going Saturday against the Wizards.

Parker contributed 23 points (8-13 FG, 7-10 FT) and seven rebounds in 42 minutes in the triple-overtime win against Brooklyn on Wednesday.
Parker took advantage of the extra playing time and scored well early in the game. He has played well against the teams from New York with 14-of-21 from the field in wins over the Knicks and Nets.

Parker probably had one of the worst games in his young career on Tuesday. He finished the night scoring six points, four rebounds, and three assists in 21 minutes.
Six points marks the lowest total in Parker's career. However, a direct correlation can be drawn between the overall numbers he put up and the season low in minutes he played through during the game. Parker only totaled one foul in the game, and he didn't shoot himself out of the game either. It seems like this was just a moment when Coach Kidd was alternating lineups to go with what he saw fit, which worked because it resulted in a win. Consider this an anomaly and not a sign of things to come for Parker going forward.

Parker scored 13 points (5-17 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT) with 11 rebounds in 34 minutes in the loss to Washington on Saturday.
Parker came into the league with the rep of a polished offensive game, but he has started the season on a cold streak. He is just 13-of-37 (35.1 percent) in his first three games, but has grabbed 21 boards in his last two games.

Parker had 11 points (5-11 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 0-2 FT) with 10 rebounds in 31 minutes in the win over Philadelphia on Friday.
Parker's offensive output has not been as good as hyped in the very early going of his rookie season. He contributed on the glass in the Bucks' first win of the season that pitted the two worst teams from 2013-14. Fantasy owners are going to have to be patient with Parker's scoring.

Parker scored eight points (3-9 FG, 2-2 FT) with four rebounds in 37 minutes during Wednesday's OT loss to the Hornets.
Not exactly the debut the Bucks were hoping for from the second overall pick in this year's draft. Parker should have better nights than this ahead, but he may not have the immediate impact many expected from him.
Wed Oct 22 201422:56Parker scored 18 points (7-19 FG, 0-3 3P, 4-4 FT) with nine rebo...
Parker scored 18 points (7-19 FG, 0-3 3P, 4-4 FT) with nine rebounds in 33 minutes during Wednesday's preseason loss to the Timberwolves.
The young forward seems likely to be the main offensive option on a rebuilding Bucks squad, so while his defensive performance and advanced stats might leave something to be desired this season Parker's fantasy numbers should still be plenty useful.
Fri Jul 18 201418:59Jabari Parker puts up a big game in finale
Jabari Parker had his best game at summer league on Friday, making 8-of-15 from the field for 20 points with 15 boards, two assists and six turnovers in 30 minutes.
After the game, Parker said he only has about a "50 percent" understanding of how the Bucks will use him. That's not really an indication of how he's coming along and it's more about how much is up in the air with the Bucks. He really showed off his versatility on both ends and will be a candidate for Rookie of the Year.

Wed Jul 16 201411:11Jabari Parker inks deal with Jordan Brand
Jabari Parker has signed an endorsement deal with the Jordan Brand, according to Jeff Goodman of ESPN.
Goodman also mentions that top-10 picks Julius Randle and Aaron Gordon both signed deals with Nike. Parker was the second overall pick in the 2014 draft and is widely considered the best purer scorer of the incoming rookies. He will have an immediate impact on the Bucks and for fantasy owners as well.

Mon Jul 14 201400:08Jabari Parker struggles vs. Suns
Jabari Parker shot 4-of-15 from the field for 11 points with 11 boards, two assists, one steal, two 3-pointers and six turnovers.
He wasn't going to the basket nearly as much and just kept settling for jumpers. Parker may have been under pressure a bit because of the Suns losing, so he'll get a pass here.

Fri Jul 11 201422:07Jabari Parker scores 17 in summer league play
Jabari Parker's offensive arsenal was on display vs. the Cavs on Friday, making 5-of-11 from the field for 17 points with nine boards, one assist, one steal and four turnovers.
It was an impressive showing for the No. 2 pick. He finished at the rim like a veteran and was able to use both hands well. Parker was the ball handler and roll man in pick-and-roll situations, so he's showing he can play both forward spots. On the downside, he did look a little lost on defense. He's shaping up to be the first rookie to be drafted in fantasy leagues.
