Ricky Rubio will miss the rest of the season with a torn knee anterior capsule.
In Tuesday's loss to the New Orleans Pelicans, Ricky Rubio went down with a knee injury. He was helped off the floor without putting any weight on his leg and was going to have an exam on Wednesday.
Kevin Love said that he could see the pain that the man was in when he went down. We have a history. I really care for him. I'm praying that he will be okay. We don't know what the future holds for him. We're completely devastated. He was having a great season.
During the 2012 season, an injury to his left knee derailed an otherwise promising season.
Over the past six seasons, the veteran point guard has missed no more than 14 games in a season.
The Cavs were off to a surprising 20-14 start, with Ricky Rubio playing a steady hand off the bench while helping mentor a rising star. The guard depth of the Cavs is now looking thin because of the injury to Collin Sexton.
Don't be surprised if Cleveland makes a trade before the February deadline to bolster its guard depth.
