Michael Parker, the bj-league's leading scorer this season, will be sidelined for two to three weeks with a right knee injury, Rizing Fukuoka coach John Neumann said.
Parker sustained the injury during the Rizing's April 18 game against the Shiga Lakestars. Teammate Marlyn Bryant mistakenly hit him under the basket on offense, Neumann said by telephone from Fukuoka on Tuesday.
Neumann said the accident occurred in the game's first half, adding that Parker was "in a lot of pain" but played in the second half.
