Hammond, who spoke from the sidelines of the Bucks' training center while Parker was shooting on the court in front of him, was almost giddy about the pace of Parker's recovery, saying, "you watch him and think, 'Wow, he's going to play very soon.'" He quickly tempered that assessment, noting that the team's medical staff projected a return date around the all-star break next season.

"As far as his future in Milwaukee we think it's long term," Hammond said. "That's the goal, that always has been the goal. ... Couple things — No. 1, we want Jabari here and No. 2, he wants to be here. Similar to Giannis. I think with that in mind (for) both parties, I think that will happen.”
