Chandler Parsons played for the Dallas Mavericks from 2014 to 2016.
Now with the Atlanta Hawks, Parsons’ career is in jeopardy following a collision he had with a driver being accused of drinking while operating his motor vehicle.
Parsons suffered “permanent injuries in the crash, including a traumatic brain injury, disc herniation, and a torn labrum,” according to a statement from his lawyers, after being hit last Wednesday at 2 p.m. following a team practice. The statement further reads, “The at-fault driver created utter chaos on the roadway, needlessly endangering the lives of countless motorists. He now stands charged with DUI, admitted drinking, had alcohol in the car with him, passed out after causing a three-car crash at 2:00PM on a Wednesday in a busy intersection.”
Parsons played for the University of Florida before being drafted by the Houston Rockets. He signed with the Mavericks as a Restricted Free Agent in 2014. He then signed a multi-year contract with the Memphis Grizzlies before finally being traded to the Atlanta Hawks before the 2019-2020 season.
