Former Celtic Jabari Parker agrees to deal with FC Barcelona

Jabari Parker FC Barcelona Celtics NBA

Former Boston Celtics forward Jabari Parker is taking his talents overseas and will sign a one-year deal with FC Barcelona of Spanish Liga ACB and the EuroLeague. The No. 2 overall pick in the 2014 NBA draft is set to earn an estimated $2 million, and according to HoopsHype’s Michael Scotto, the deal includes an NBA opt-out clause.

Injuries have been a persistent problem for the 28-year-old Parker, and he suffered two torn ACLs in the same knee during his first few seasons in the league. When he signed with the Celtics in April of 2021, Parker had bounced around the league several times. His time in the Hub had a few moments, and Parker had a solid stint with the Celtics in a limited bench role. Boston waived Parker in January 2022.

Parker was most recently a member of the Milwaukee Bucks’ 2023 summer league roster before inking a deal with FC Barcelona. Like fellow Celtics alumni Kemba Walker, this move to play in Europe could be an opportunity for Parker to showcase his game and continue his journey as a professional basketball player.
