Jabari Parker’s redemption tour just derailed.

The 23-year-old signed with the Bulls to replenish his stock after sustaining numerous knee injuries, but now the former No. 2 overall pick won’t have much of a chance to do that.

Parker, who signed a puzzling two-year, $40 million deal in the offseason, won’t be seeing regular minutes moving forward, according to ESPN. His reduced role comes after the return of Lauri Markkanen and last week’s firing of coach Fred Hoiberg.

Coach Jim Boylen drastically cut down Parker’s usage since taking over. In six games, Parker has averaged just 22.3 minutes in December, including four scoreless minutes in Thursday’s 97-91 loss to the Orlando Magic. ESPN suggested that Parker only saw those sparing minutes because Chandler Hutchison was out with an illness.

Boylen tried downplaying the situation calling Parker’s limited minutes a “matchup thing” but this isn’t how Parker envisioned playing with his hometown team.

“It is a surprise because I did everything I could in the time I was given,” Parker said. “But it is what it is. You can’t pout. You just got to keep moving.”

Parker is not the only one frustrated in Chicago. Bulls players have revolted against Boylen, who favors hard practices.

Parker was initially signed to be the Bulls’ sixth-man but when Markkanen went down before the season, he jumped into the Bulls’ starting lineup at power forward and put up decent offensive production, averaging 15.8 points, 7.1 rebounds and 2.3 assists per game. However, he shifted to the bench once Markkanen returned and saw his minutes reduced drastically.

“Going forward, he’s part of our team, and it’s not about the individual, it’s about the team. It’s about playing your minutes the best you can,” Boylen said. “We’ll see what his minutes are going forward.”

Parker, who is often criticized for his lackadaisical defense, has a team-option next season.
