6 years agoChicago Bulls small/power forward Jabari Parker is likely playing his final games as a regular member of his team’s rotation beginning Thursday against the Orlando Magic. With the return of both Bobby Portis and Lauri Markkanen to the fold in the frontcourt, minutes are becoming precious and it appears that the Bulls want to go in a different direction, with Chandler Hutchison also set to cut into Parker's run. The move comes as somewhat of a shock, as Parker enters the night averaging 15.8 points and 7.3 rebounds per game. Owners may want to wait to see if Parker could get swapped in a trade before dropping him outright, but it appears his minutes are certainly going to take a sharp downturn.--Jesse Borek
