Jabari Parker in La Crosse today
Bucks forward visited elementary school, conducted clinic
Milwaukee Bucks forward Jabari Parker was in La Crosse today.
The No. 2-overall pick in the 2014 NBA draft visited students at the Northside Elementary-Coulee Montessori this morning.
Parker, who has just been cleared to practice since tearing the ACL in his left knee 25 games into last season, led a basketball clinic with students followed by a high flying, acrobatic dunk team performance by the Rim Rockers.
After a successful debut in 2014, the Bucks are once again taking the show on the road this fall with the second annual Milwaukee Bucks “Own the Future” statewide tour.
Center John Henson, 2015 first-round pick Rashad Vaughn and Parker, along with Bango the mascot and other Bucks entertainment have been on tour the last two weekends, visiting various cities throughout the state.
