Jabari Parker has a fracture in his right foot, an MRI revealed Thursday.
Parker injured his foot while playing at the FIBA U17 World Championship in Lithuania and will miss the remainder of the July evaluation period.
"He is going to be all right," Parker's father, Sonny Parker, said. "We just want him to take his time. He wanted to play and we wanted him to rest. That last game he just willed himself to play."
Sonny Parker wasn't sure of the size of the fracture and didn't think surgery would be necessary, but couldn't say for sure.
