The Atlanta Hawks today issued the following injury update on forward Chandler Parsons, who was recently in a car accident. Parsons has reportedly filed at least one lawsuit due to injuries from the incident.

Per the Hawks today, Parsons remains in the first stage of the NBA’s concussion protocol and has not progressed to exertional challenges, such as light conditioning.

Additionally, Parsons continues to receive treatment for symptoms of whiplash and the associated cervical disc injury.

After discussing with Parsons, his medical team and the doctors at Emory Sports Medicine, it was agreed by all parties that it would be best for Parsons’ recovery for him to return home to California and continue to recover and rehabilitate under the treatment of a team of doctors and therapists overseen by the Hawks and Emory Sports Medicine staff.

So, that’s the Hawks’ team update. And per the Atlanta Journal Constitution, “the at-fault driver whose car collided with Parsons’ car and one other vehicle was cited for failure to yield while turning left and DUI Less Safe. Parsons and the other driver involved were found to not be at fault.”

Definitely with Jon on this one.
