Bucks' Parker suffers sprained left knee

Milwaukee Bucks forward Jabari Parker left Wednesday's game against the Miami Heat after injuring his left knee. He was then ruled out for the remainder of the contest.

Parker had to be helped off the floor after his left knee appeared to buckle without contact, with the team calling the injury a sprain. The concern is it's the same knee he underwent surgery on during his rookie year after tearing his ACL. That injury cost him 57 games that season.

Parker is scheduled for an MRI on Thursday. Teammate John Henson said after the Bucks' 106-88 loss however, that Parker told him he only hyperextended his leg. "It's cool," Henson quoted Parker as saying, according to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel's Gary D'Amato.

Parker has come into his own offensively this season, averaging just over 20 points on 36.7 percent 3-point shooting.
