Milwaukee Bucks forward Jabari Parker is rapidly getting his game back. After spending the first several games of the season on the sidelines to recover from a devastating knee injury, the versatile Milwaukee Bucks power forward has been showing flashes of his pre-injury brilliance – and explosiveness.
Just take for example this monster rack attack he unleashed early in Sunday’s road game against the Denver Nuggets.

As you can see in the video above, Jabari Parker did not pay any respect to fellow Duke Blue Devils product Mason Plumlee, crossing over the Nuggets center before zooming through the lane for a ferocious one-handed throwdown.
Parker entered the game with season averages of 11.0 points and 4.1 rebounds on 22.1 minutes in 25 contests. While those are way below than his numbers last season in which he put up 20.1 points and 6.2 rebounds per game, it is still nice for Bucks fans to see the former No. 2 overall pick contribute for Milwaukee.
Parker is no longer the focal point of the Bucks’ offense – that role now belongs to Giannis Antetokounmpo – but he is an integral figure in Milwaukee’s pursuit for a playoff spot and a deep postseason run.
As of this writing, the Bucks are seventh in the Eastern Conference standings with a 41-35 record. A win against the Nuggets would give Milwaukee some much-needed breathing room in the East. The Bucks have five more games left on their regular-season schedule following the Denver tilt. They will next face the Boston Celtics at home this coming Tuesday.
