Parker played nine minutes in Monday's 108-103 loss to the Timberwolves, finishing with three points (1-3 FG, 1-2 3Pt), two rebounds and two assists.
Jayson Tatum's entry in the protocols Monday opened up minutes at forward for both Parker and Sam Hauser (11 minutes), though both players were only fringe members of the rotation. While Tatum is likely to miss at least a few more games, Boston could get at least one or two of the other nine players who were sidelined Monday back for the Celtics' next contest Wednesday against the Clippers. If that's the case, Parker would seem to be at risk of losing out on a spot on the second unit. Parker, who cleared the protocols himself Christmas Day, has logged just 21 total minutes between his first two games back in action.
