The latest Milwaukee Bucks Daily is here as Jabari Parker has formed a bond with assistant coach Frank Johnson as he goes through the rehabilitation that stemmed from his second torn ACL.
In today’s edition of Milwaukee Bucks Daily, we hear about Jabari Parker’s continuing rehabilitation and the bond that’s come from it, the Bucks’ standing in the efficiency age of the NBA, the Herd preparing to open their official home and much more.
Through the ups and downs of his rehabilitation, the second in his young NBA career, we’ve seen the strides Parker has made, which makes it seem like he could make a return to the court earlier than his February return date (which is not realistic, of course).
However, what we haven’t seen are the mental hurdles the 22-year-old has dealt with as he works his way back from his second knee injury and how assistant coach Frank Johnson has been an instrumental figure for Parker since coming on to the coaching staff and having dealt with his own share of major injuries during his playing days.
