Fans flooded the BMO Harris Bradley Center Friday, excited to see Jabari Parker return.

Fans were excited for what Parker can mean for the team.

"The energy that he brings is just phenomenal, and he brings the team closer together too," Tanner Kunesh said.

"He's an integral part of the team, and just for the playoffs this year, excited to see what he can do," Nate Jackson said.

Fans also are rooting for Parker personally, and hope he can overcome his injuries.

"He's been through some hardship the last few years, so I'm just excited to see him back on the court playing with the guys," Dan Krueger said.

Parker is returning from his second ACL tear in four years.
