MILWAUKEE — Jabari Parker has always been a player of interest for local fans because he is a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints who once considered going on an LDS mission and once put BYU among his five finalists for where he would attend college.
Parker, who was drafted No. 2 overall by Milwaukee in 2014 after playing a year at Duke, has been out of action since February when he tore the ACL in his left knee for the second time in his career. He’s not expected back for two more months, approximately a year after his latest injury.
