During an interview in the second quarter of tonight’s game against the Philadelphia 76ers, Jabari Parker announced that he would return to the Milwaukee Bucks active roster on Friday night against the New York Knicks. Parker suffered the second torn ACL of his career on February 8th last year against the Miami Heat. The Bucks were cautious with his recovery time from the start and pegged him for a return date around this time shortly after he went through surgery.
How Parker will re-integrate into this vastly different Milwaukee team from the one he left will be the most intriguing sub-plot of this second half of the season.
