Bucks' Parker is out of lineup for breaking team rule

MIAMI (AP) - Milwaukee Bucks forward Jabari Parker is out of the starting lineup for the first time this season Saturday night at Miami after breaking a team rule.
Parker will play coming off the bench, coach Jason Kidd said.
Kidd declined to elaborate on the move, which came after the Bucks held a long players-only meeting following a loss Friday at Orlando. The meeting got heated at times, and Parker said he wasn't well received when he expressed his point of view.
Parker has scored at least 20 points in four consecutive games. He was replaced in the lineup by rookie Thon Maker, making his first career start.
