Ricky Rubio - Take the Money and Limp

[Douglar]

I genuinely don't care if Rubio gets on the court in 2022-23, but I do really hope he's around the team (lockerroom, sidelines, film room, etc). They have enough guys to play the minutes without wearing dudes out for now. But his intangibles are what I think is needed most immediately.

Assuming Sexton comes back, I'd really like to see how he does as a backup PG now that's he's part of a team instead of one guy getting numbers. Giving him 16 games at the start of the season after a full training camp should be more than enough time to find out if he can actually play PG at an NBA level.

Has there been any news on how his rehab is coming along?

He was ahead of schedule last I heard, but that was in June, I think.

Cavaliers rumors: Donovan Mitchell, Kevin Love, Caris LeVert, Ricky Rubio, LeBron James

HoopsHype’s Michael Scotto and Cavaliers beat writer Chris Fedor share behind-the-scenes intel on the Donovan Mitchell trade. Plus, updates on extension talks for Caris LeVert, Kevin Love’s future,…

Fedor: He visited with Cavaliers team doctors recently. He had been doing a lot of his rehab overseas in Barcelona at the early stages of it. He met with the Cavaliers team doctors, and I was told that everything was on the same schedule. They don’t have a specific timeline because this is a player beyond the age of 30 and his second torn ACL. They don’t feel they need to rush him back onto the court. I think the Cavaliers are going to take their time. I keep hearing 12 months. That’s the historical timeline that’s attached to a lot of guys. If you’re talking about that, we’re talking about January. I think February is probably more realistic at this point for Ricky.​

Well, that would be 14 months then.

I’m totally okay with Rubio coming back late Jan early Feb, anything he gives us will be considered a bonus to me, I’m definitely not counting on getting the Rubio we got last year……..

And honestly, we don’t need him as desperately as we did before the Mitchell trade.

According to Windhorst on 850 Rubio ahead of schedule was working on the side yesterday with a physical therapist. While most of the team was
practicing together on the court.
No brace on the leg.

This dude needs to take his sweet, sweet time. Maybe a month before the post-season is a good time to get up to speed
