The team, which will not return home until December 23rd, will count on Giannis Antetokounmpo to take Parker’s playing time.
He was injured last night against the Phoenix Suns in the third quarter, and it was originally speculated to be a knee sprain. When he left, he couldn’t put any weight on his leg.
In 25 games this season, he had a 12.3 points per game average with 5.5 rebounds, 1.7 assists, and 1.2 steals per game.
Parker, who was the second overall pick in this year’s draft, was a rising young star and was the favorite to win the Rookie of the Year award. Now, this opens an opportunity for the other rookies to take the top honor.
