Parsons was diagnosed Tuesday with a partially torn meniscus in his left knee and will be sidelined indefinitely.
While it was Parsons' right knee that has previously required two surgeries in the past, he's been bothered by soreness in his left knee of late and previously missed time earlier this season while battling a bone bruise in the knee. After he was ruled out for the second time in three games ahead of Monday's tilt with the Hawks, it was determined Parsons had suffered a more serious setback with the left knee than anticipated, and it now seems quite likely he'll be at risk of missing the rest of the season. Fantasy owners in most formats probably bailed on Parsons long ago with the forward averaging 6.2 points (on 33.8% shooting from the field), 2.5 rebounds and 1.6 assists in just 19.9 minutes per game over 34 appearances on the season, and this news will only offer more incentive for those in single-season leagues to banish him to the waiver wire. With Parsons uncertain to play again this season, Vince Carter and James Ennis should be in store for added run over the next month.
