Per ESPN: Jabari Parker out for year with ACL

[saltlover]

No link as of yet, but bad news for the Bucks if true.

First Randle, now Parker.  Terrible news.

[Vox_Populi]

Just saw Stein's tweet. That's rough. I'm curious whether or not they'll continue to push for the Playoffs.

Also dont forget Embiid is out, Aaron Gordon could be out for the majority of the year and we almost lost Smart. Young is out indefinitely

This past draft is cursed

I bet this year it actually won't matter as much in terms of wins. Where it hurts is Jabari's seasoning process.

As bad as it sounds, more minutes for Giannis and Kris Middleton might actually work for more wins, especially if/when John Henson gets his stuff together.

What a terrible year for rookie injuries. We were so fortunate that Smart's wasn't worse than it was

[Roy H.]

Lousy.

[ImShakHeIsShaq]

Sad. One of the reasons I catch a lot of the Bucks games.

Wow , that sucks.  What is it with all of these guys and knee injuries?  Is it the shoes, genetics, or perhaps steroid use or something else that turns their knees into Dwyane Wade's.  This just never used to be a common injury in basketball, at least, that's what I always thought.

They weren't really pushing for the playoffs at all.  They've been very candid about their primary goal for the season being to continue the rebuilding process.  They aren't adverse to the idea of making the playoffs if they do so organically, but that's not necessarily what they're focusing on.

What position does Middleton play - as a power forward?  Also, can we please get John Henson?  Pretty please?

I think Mitch McGary just played his first pro game the other day, as well.  Man, maybe this draft should have been sponsored by Blue Cross Blue Shield, lol .

[Who]

Too bad. He was exciting to watch when he was getting the ball and attacking on offense. Was surprisingly useful for a rookie forward playing out of position as undersized PF. A pleasant surprise (defensively).

How will he come back tho?

Rose is still getting back into form. Gallinari looks awful. Rondo took an entire year and a half.

So unlucky.

Yeah, it seems like a more common injury nowadays - especially in football and basketball. I think as players become faster and stronger, the more likely an injury is to occur.

I really can't believe there is another season ending injury to a high profile rookie - totally disappointing.
