A spinning ball displaces air. The ball moves formed and relative to it, the air moves backward. Hence, the velocity of air above the ball relative to it is larger and below it is smaller. This difference in the velocities of air results in a pressure difference between the lower and upper faces leading to a net upward force on the ball. Therefore the ball does not follow a parabolic trajectory.
