Bucks' Jabari Parker: Undergoes successful ACL surgery Tuesday

Parker (knee) underwent successful surgery Tuesday to repair a torn left ACL, Chris Mannix of Yahoo! Sports reports.

Analysis:

Though Parker's procedure went off without a hitch, the Bucks won't waver from the 12-month recovery timetable initially handed down to the forward when he was diagnosed with the injury last week. Given that it's the second time in a little over two years that Parker has torn the ACL, the Bucks will likely be extremely cautious with the forward's rehab process, so it's possible he may not even be cleared to take part in contact drills until the calendar flips to 2018. During Parker's absence the last three games, Thon Maker and Michael Beasley have both received starts at power forward, with the latter seemingly representing the better source of fantasy production thanks to his skills as a scorer.
