Ricky Rubio Tagged As Questionable For Tuesday
Ricky Rubio has picked up a questionable designation ahead of Tuesday’s contest versus the Dallas Mavericks due to a right ankle ailment. An absence from Rubio would open up the team’s backcourt situation, likely forcing Devin Booker to take on additional ball-handling duties, while Elie Okobo and Ty Jerome could via for increased minutes. After a torrid stretch of tearing off gaudy assist numbers, Rubio has been held to three or fewer in each of his last three showings. Check back closer to tip-off to get the final word on Rubio’s status.

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 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.
