Ricky Rubio (injury management) has been ruled out in the first game back after the All-Star break due to left knee injury management. The Spaniard sat out of the team's last game against the Philadelphia 76ers with an illness at the time, so this game may have just been a planned rest day. While Rubio is sidelined,
Caris LeVert should see some more usage while
Raul Neto may see some more opportunities off of the bench.

Ricky Rubio (illness) did not participate in shootaround on Wednesday and is still dealing with a non-COVID illness, which has landed him on the injury report as questionable. The 32-year-old seems to get a game off every few games while being eased back on to the court, so it wouldn't be surprising to see him get the night off before an extended break. If he does stay on the sidelines, look for
Caris LeVert to take on more guard duties with the second unit.

Ricky Rubio (knee) won't play on Friday night against New Orleans. The veteran had eight points and two steals in 16 minutes on Wednesday versus the Piston. However, with the Cavs going into a back-to-back, Rubio will sit out on Friday before likely returning for Saturday's matchup with the visiting Chicago Bulls. Nevertheless, with
Darius Garland and
Donovan Mitchell both back in the lineup, Rubio probably wouldn't have gotten much work anyway.

Ricky Rubio (rest) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. He has appeared in five straight games, but he'll sit out their next contest due to injury management on his left knee. His absence shouldn't have a huge impact with
Donovan Mitchell and
Darius Garland both healthy and active.
Raul Neto and
Caris LeVert should have increased roles off the bench with Rubio inactive on Friday.
