Jabari Parker stayed on the bench for the entire game as Partizan lost to Virtus Bologna in Belgrade, a decision that raised questions given his status within the team. Head coach Mirko Ocokolji\u0107 stated clearly that it was a technical choice, based solely on Parker\u2019s performance in practice ahead of the game.<\/p>\n
Speaking after the loss, Parker explained that the situation was not about him personally and emphasized his professional attitude. However, the former NBA No. 2 draft pick also hinted at broader considerations regarding his future, stressing the importance of being on the court.<\/p>\n
\u201cI have to take care of my career, but I remain a professional,\u201d Parker said, adding that he sees himself as one of the top players in Europe and that his focus remains on supporting his teammates.<\/p>\n
