Jabari Parker, the highly anticipated and exciting player is going to miss the rest of the seaon because he tore the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in his left knee at Phoenix. The Bucks were doing very good this year and are just a few wins away from beating their total for last NBA season. Parker was teaming up with Giannis Antetokounmpo to form the youngest duo with the highest ceiling in the NBA. The ACL injury is the same Derrick Rose suffered a few years back and until recently, Rose has not been the same as the pre-injury Derrick Rose we all marveled at. Parker is also a Chicago native, like Rose, and looked up to the pre-injury MVP Rose while at Simeon High School, the same high school Derrick went to. This is horrible news for the Bucks organization, fans, and the whole NBA becasue the NBA lost the primary Rookie Of the Year candidate and the NBA also lost a big part of a franchise that was slowly and happily coming back together. I think it is horrible that the Bucks fans have to go through the Rose ACL saga the Bulls suffered, and the Bucks are practically the Bulls' neighbors living only 1 hour and 39 minutes away, stadium to stadium. This is a very big loss.
