MILWAUKEE -- The Bucks say the knee surgery on forward Jabari Parker was a success and he is expected back in approximately 12 months.

Parker suffered a season-ending left knee injury for the second time in three years on Feb. 8 during a home loss to Miami. The surgery performed Tuesday was to repair his ACL.

He will miss the remainder of the season with the recovery and rehabilitation period.

Parker was averaging a career-high 20.1 points and 6.2 rebounds as one of the Bucks' franchise cornerstones and the team's second-leading scorer. An injury to the same ACL in December 2014 knocked Parker out of his rookie season after 25 games.
