Jabari-Parker

Milwaukee Bucks forward Jabari Parker suffered a torn ACL during his team’s win over the Phoenix Suns on Monday night. The rookie will undergo surgery and miss the remainder of the season.

Parker, the No. 2 overall pick in this year’s NBA Draft, was the leading candidate for Rookie of the Year. The 19-year-old was averaging an impressive 12.3 points, 5.5 rebounds and 29.5 minutes per game. He was named the Eastern Conference rookie of the month in October and November.

After winning just 15 games all of last season, the Bucks are off to a 13-12 start this year and are starting to look like a legitimate playoff contender. Whether they can continue that without Parker remains to be seen.
