Former Boston Celtics forward Jabari Parker is planning to work out with the Phoenix Suns today per recent reporting from Yahoo Sports’ Chris Haynes. Parker, whose last NBA gig was with the Celtics in the 2021-22 NBA season under then-Celtics head coach Ime Udoka, has kept a low profile since.
Parker, the No. 2 pick of the 2014 NBA draft, had joined the Celtics at the end of the season prior in an effort to rehabilitate his value in the league after a disappointing stint with the Sacramento Kings. That effort did not pan out with his poor defense being the primary culprit, with Parker being cut by Boston in January of 2022.
The Chicago native had played a total of 22 games for the ball club over two seasons, averaging 5.3 points and 2.9 rebounds per game while shooting 51.2% from the field and 38.5% from deep.
