Milwaukee Bucks' Jabari Parker cleared for return to action

Milwaukee Bucks point guard Jabari Parker has been cleared to return to action following his recovery from a torn ACL.

The 20-year-old sustained the injury last December and was ruled out for the rest of the campaign.

Parker has made significant strides in his recovery over the off-season, and has now been cleared to play against the Philadelphia 76ers on Wednesday, just 10 months removed from surgery.

"The process has started, and he has done everything that we feel a basketball player can do at a high level," head coach Jason Kidd told reporters.

"He's excited. He's 20 years old, was hurt doing something that he loved and wants to get out and help his team win."

Parker averaged 12.5 points per game last season for the Bucks.
