Jabari Parker, who has been out for more than two weeks with a right shoulder impingement and has played in one game since Dec. 23, will miss at least two more weeks, the Hawks announced Tuesday afternoon.

Parker was re-evaluated Monday and was cleared for the next step of his rehab, which includes “controlled movement and gradual reloading of his rotator cuff,” per the team.

After two more weeks, Parker will be re-examined.

In 26.2 minutes per game this season, Parker was averaging 15 points and six rebounds, and his absence keeps them shorthanded at power forward.
