In his first game with the Celtics, Jabari Parker shot 5-for-6 from the floor and played just under 16 minutes. In Monday’s loss to the Chicago Bulls, Parker finished with just under 16 minutes again and shot 4-for-7 from the field.
With the Sacramento Kings, Parker played 27 total minutes and was 4-for-7 from the field.
For the season.
Asked about Parker before Monday’s game, Stevens reiterated that the Celtics see this as a potential multi-year partnership, not just an experiment for the rest of the season.
“We saw it as an opportunity to not only sign a guy for the rest of the season but also next year,” Stevens said.
