The Bucks finally have set a date for the return of Jabari Parker, part two.
Jabari broke the news to Fox Sports Wisconsin’s Telly Hughes during the second quarter of Monday’s game against the 76ers. He plans to return to NBA Hardwood for the Bucks’ next home game this Friday against the Knicks.
Parker will likely be on a minutes restriction through the remainder of February, but will have extended rest time with the all-star break coming up in just a few weeks. Do not expect him to play in back-to-backs very much if at all for the remainder of this season.
The 12-month rehab process began last year, February 9th, when Parker went down with his 2nd ACL tear in just three professional seasons. After a long year, Jabari is back.
