MILWAUKEE — Bucks forward Jabari Parker left Milwaukee’s game Wednesday night against the Miami Heat in the third quarter with a sprained left knee.
Parker was driving to the bucket from the left side of the lane with 6:34 left in the quarter. He made minimal contact with a defender before falling to the floor. His left knee did not make contact and appeared to buckle on the drive.
Parker hurt the same knee in December 2014, ending his rookie season after 25 games.
The second overall pick in the 2014 draft is currently averaging a career-high 20.2 points per game.
The latest injury occurred on the same night that guard Khris Middleton returned from a hamstring injury. Parker, Middleton and forward Giannis Antetokounmpo form the Bucks’ young core.
