After a nightmarish first half of the season, Jabari Parker has finally found his stride. But not with Partizan, the team that signed him to a two-year, $5,000,000 contract last summer, but rather with Spanish club Joventut, where he is currently on loan.

Since arriving in Badalona, Parker has been revitalized. He's shed excess weight, regained his form, and once again resembles the player who was a cornerstone for Barcelona in previous seasons.

The former second overall pick in the NBA Draft delivered a stellar performance this afternoon against Gran Canaria, contributing 14 points to propel Joventut to their 16th victory in the ACB League.

Despite trailing Gran Canaria by as many as 10 points in the second quarter, the Badalona-based squad managed to stage a comeback and secure the triumph.

Cameron Hunt led the scoring with 24 points, followed by Ricky Rubio with 21. Parker, as mentioned, added 14 points, along with four rebounds and three assists.

This marked Parker's sixth game in a Joventut jersey across all competitions, and his fourth with a double-digit scoring performance.
