Jabari Parker may be a restricted free agent, but on Thursday night he was still hooping in Milwaukee and he invited anyone who was interested to join him.

The Milwaukee Bucks forward blasted out the invitation via Instagram on Thursday. The post was simply a picture of his feet and legs — including his classic Bucks shorts — standing on a sidewalk. The accompanying caption was the address of a park with basketball courts in Bay View off Logan St.

Parker further emphasized that he was looking for people to come out by adding to his Instagram story, including one video saying "Pull up now" and another calling for more lights to help illuminate the court as night fell.

"My whole neighborhood is St. Francis which I lived in for three years so its pretty much home to me and no better place to me than right off the highway and right by the lake," Parker told CBS 58 about why he chose that location.

He added: "I just want to say I love the city, I love Milwaukee and I love the people."

Parker's future remains the most interesting question regarding the Bucks this summer.

The Bucks have the right of first refusal and can match any offer sheet Parker signs with another team. Nearly two weeks into free agency, Parker has not yet fielded an offer, but there are a few teams — the Atlanta Hawks, Brooklyn Nets, Chicago Bulls and Sacramento Kings — that could potentially offer enough to either outbid the Bucks or force them to make a difficult decision.

For now, though, Parker is still in Milwaukee and maintaining his relationships in the community, where he has been notably active throughout his four years with the Bucks.
