Jabari Parker is 23-years-old. In his short four year career, he has torn the ACL in his left knee twice. The first time came at the end of his rookie season. The second time happened 51 games into the 2016-17 season. Parker was averaging 20 points per game at the time but was suddenly seeing a lot of zeroes in his future.

Parker’s long recovery took 12 months. He slowly saw his minutes increase during games. All the rust came off after two months when he scored 35 points in an overtime loss to the Denver Nuggets. He should be better than ever next season! Coming up, will these athletes recovering from injuries right now come back better than ever?
