NBA

Parsons was selected 38th by the Houston Rockets in the 2011 NBA Draft . During the lockout before the 2011/12 NBA season , Parsons completed three games for the French team Cholet Basket , but returned to the USA for the start of the season.

During the 2012/13 season he was able to increase his career highs to 32 points and six three-point throws in the home game against the Dallas Mavericks on March 3, 2013 .

During the 2013/14 season on January 24, 2014, Parsons set the team record of ten converted three-point throws in one game and the NBA record of ten converted three-point throws in a home game against the Memphis Grizzlies. Throws in one half of a game. He also increased his career record to 34 points. He ended the season with career highs: 16.6 points, 5.5 rebounds and 4.0 assists per game.

For the 2014/15 season , Parsons became a restricted free agent . He then negotiated a three-year contract with the Dallas Mavericks with a salary of $ 46 million. The Houston Rockets could have returned the contract offer and thus continued to bind Parsons, but ultimately waived a further obligation. After two years with the Mavericks, some of which were disappointing due to injury, he signed a contract with the Memphis Grizzlies in the summer of 2016.

Due to recurring knee problems, Parsons completed less than half of the possible season games in the next two years and could no longer show the performances that distinguished him in Houston. He finished the 2016/17 season with just 6.2 points, 2.5 rebounds and 1.6 assists per game with a very poor field hit rate of 33.8% in 34 of 82 possible games of the season. In the next two years he did not get past 36 season games.

In the summer of 2019, Parsons was given to the Atlanta Hawks in exchange for Solomon Hill and Miles Plumlee . He was released from the team on February 5, 2020.

Private

From 2015 to 2016 Parsons was in a relationship with the German model Toni Garrn .
