With three weeks now gone by in his return to the Milwaukee Bucks‘ active roster, Jabari Parker has been limited in his playing time but showing flashes of why fans were so excited to see him come back.
On the surface, Jabari’s production has been pedestrian. Since returning on February 2, Parker is averaging 9.1 points and 3.6 rebounds in 18.0 minutes, and has played seven out of eight possible games (sitting out on a SEGABABA in Orlando on February 10). Still, the per-game numbers aren’t terribly important, since Jabari is playing fewer minutes than he probably will, has months of rust to shake off, and will be adjusting to rejoining a team that has a bonafide superstar in Giannis Antetokounmpo.
