K.C. Johnson: Stuck on bench, Jabari Parker deserves another chance to play for Bulls
PORTLAND, Ore. - Free Jabari Parker.
That used to be a lighthearted, third-person reference Bobby Portis used during his rookie season as he sat behind Taj Gibson and Nikola Mirotic. It even led to a #freeBobbyPortis hashtag on Twitter.
In Parker's case, it's serious stuff for the Bulls.
Parker didn't play again Wednesday against the Trail Blazers in Portland, Ore. Since coach Jim Boylen removed him from the rotation Dec. 15, Parker has logged just 14 minutes, 19 seconds of playing time.
Boylen has stated publicly his reasons for benching Parker
