7 years agoMilwaukee Bucks forward Jabari Parker (knee) will make his return on Friday night when the team will welcome the New York Knicks. Parker tore the ACL in his left knee nearly a year ago during a matchup against the Miami Heat and has been absent since. Whether he starts or will come off of the bench is unknown, but he will most certainly face a minutes restriction initially while he gets back into playing shape. Come playoff time, the team could be looking at a rotation of guards Eric Bledsoe, Khris Middleton, forwards Giannis Antetokounmpo, Parker and forward/center John Henson with guard Malcolm Brogdon moving back to the bench. However, with the trade deadline just around the corner and the team seeking to acquire the services of Clippers center DeAndre Jordan, that may change. Parker averaged 20 points, six boards and was shooting nearly 37 percent from deep prior to the injury, but fantasy owners may want to keep him holstered until he demonstrates that he is ready to play significant minutes.--Dennis Clausen - RotoBaller
