Ricky Rubio Pours In 20 Points
Ricky Rubio scored 20 points on 6-for-13 shooting from the field and 2-for-4 from beyond the arc in Saturday's victory over the Celtics. He added four rebounds, two assists along with three steals. The 28-year-old tied his season low output in assists and turnovers (one). Rubio, who has scored in double figures in seven of nine games, has shot the ball a little better recently as he has made 10 of his last 21 attempts. However, the 6-foot-4 Spaniard is currently shooting a career-worst 35.2 percent from the field. A major reason for his shooting woes is that 40 percent of his shot attempts are three-pointers, which he is making only 28.8 percent of them. Rubio will look to connect on at least one trifecta to extend his streak to seven straight against the Pacers on Monday.

Ricky Rubio Ruled Out On Thursday Against Nuggets
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 Sitting Out Against Sixers
Ricky Rubio (illness) will be sidelined for Wednesday's contest against the Philadelphia 76ers. Rubio is feeling under the weather and will not be able to go after being listed as questionable from a non-COVID illness. Caris LeVert should see ample minutes off the bench on Wednesday with Rubio ruled out.

Ricky Rubio Officially Questionable Against 76ers
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 Getting The Night Off On Friday
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.
