The Bucks recalled forward Jabari Parker from the Wisconsin Herd on Tuesday after he practiced twice with the team.
Parker sustained a left ACL injury on Feb. 8 and underwent surgery to repair it on Feb. 14. He has played just 51 games since the start of the 2016-17 season.
Parker averaged 20.1 points (2nd on team), 6.2 rebounds (3rd on team), 2.8 assists (4th on team) and 1.0 steals in 33.9 minutes (2nd on team) per game last season before suffering the knee injury. He has averaged at least 12 points per game every season since he was selected No. 2 overall by the Bucks in 2014.
Milwaukee also got starters Tony Snell and Matthew Dellavedova back in the lineup Tuesday. Dellavedova (knee) had not played since Nov. 13.

While Parker likely won't be in the lineup Tuesday, his return could be soon. The Bucks' statement did not definitively say which game he would return to, but it's a good sign he only served a short stint in the G-League.
