Jabari Parker leaves game with sprained knee (Video)
Jabari Parker left Wednesday’s Milwaukee Bucks game after suffering a scary looking knee injury that the team termed a sprain.
Parker went down in the third quarter with the injury, which was similar to a season-ending torn ACL injury he suffered in 2014. The Bucks broadcast compared the two:

Parker had 14 points in 20 minutes at the time of this injury. The former Duke player was the No. 2 overall pick by Milwaukee in 2014. He played just 25 games in his rookie season because of his knee injury.
