Afterward, Parsons with the help of a Cowboys reporter clarified that he was not sleeping during the game.
"I actually appreciate this," Parsons said. "The way media shapes perception and narratives is wild — and if he hadn't said anything, everyone would've just run with it. I'd never disrespect the guys out there fighting for their lives."
With no deal in sight, Parsons took to TikTok to hint at a potential trade by quoting NBA legend Allen Iverson.
