Ricky Rubio Injures Knee (UPDATE: Torn ACL, out for the season)

He collided with Kobe. Didn't look that bad when it happened but he was apparently in a lot of pain.

 

Really hope his season isn't over.

 

8th seed here we come!!!

 

That sucks... Minny does have decent PG depth but obviously Barea/Ridnour are not as good as Rubio. Perhaps more importantly this cuts into his development if he has torn it.

This could also trigger Minny into getting more aggressive in trade talks. They really need a starting-caliber SG if Rubio winds up being out for the season. Otherwise no chance at the playoffs for them IMO. Maybe it will trigger them to go hard after Martin. (Give us Pek or Williams pleeeease.)

 

Barea is out too with a spained ankle.

 

Now can i get pekovic/beasley/filler for Kmart/JHill - if i throw in dragic?

 

The nba office is fist pumping.

 

ughhh it looks like his knee buckled before the contact.

 

As much as I dislike the twolves/Klove, I really hope Rubio is okay.

 

I hope it's just a sprain, this is coming from someone who wants us to finish ahead of Minny.

 

This could cause a discount on some of their players, they were already looking for some trade packages before and now there is more cause for desperation.

 

Our Minnesota picks are looking better and better.






or is that NY?

 

hating on the wolves (klove) aside, I hope it's only a minor injury, this dude is really gifted with his vision and play making abilities, would be a shame if he was hampered by this

 

the timberwolf hate is funny; sorry our favorite flop-artist got pushed around, get over it.

 

**** the wolves.

 

Ditto. I really hope he's ok.

 

don't be too serious

 

I don't hate Minny, but I do hate Love.

 

Don't hate the twolves, but you never want someone to be injured, hate to see such a young player leading his team to playoffs have an injury like that..I hope its not too serious, it didn't look that bad during the game.
