Milwaukee Bucks star Jabari Parker is finally having the breakout season that many anticipated, but he may miss some time in the near future after his knee buckled driving to the hoop on Wednesday night.
The scary-looking collision happened in the third quarter of the game, when Parker attempted to make his way toward the basket. But Luke Babbitt cut off his angle well with some good defense, and Parker was forced to take an awkward leap near the baseline. He landed awkwardly, and things did not appear good at first glance, but Parker was eventually helped off the court by his teammates.

The team announced Parker suffered a knee sprain after he left the game.
Jabari Parker suffered a sprained left knee and will not return tonight.

Parker missed the majority of his rookie season with an ACL tear, and the result of Thursday’s MRI will be telling, as this is the same knee he injured back in December 2014.
