Jabari Parker, a basketball player for Barcelona, has officially extended his contract with the club until 2026.
This marks Jabari Parker’s first season in Europe, during which he averaged 10.3 points and 3.9 rebounds across 33 games played. In the Liga Endesa, he averaged 11.5 points and 3.1 rebounds.
Most importantly for Barcelona, Parker managed to complete the season without injuries. Without serious and debilitating injuries that sidelined him for up to a year, Parker would likely still be a significant player in one of the NBA teams today.
Before coming to Europe, Jabari Parker played for the Milwaukee Bucks, Chicago Bulls, Washington Wizards, Atlanta Hawks, Sacramento Kings, and Boston Celtics. For instance, in the 2016/17 season, before his injury, he averaged 20.1 points and 6.2 rebounds across 51 games.
