Minnesota's Ricky Rubio (back) questionable for Friday's game against Memphis

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Ricky Rubio (back) is listed as questionable for Friday's contest against the Memphis Grizzlies.

What It Means:

Rubio's Friday status is now in question after Minnesota's point guard recently experienced back spasms. Expect Jaylen Nowell to play more minutes in an uptempo opportunity against a Memphis unit playing with a 101.3 pace if Rubio is ruled out.

Rubio's current projection includes 8.6 points, 3.2 rebounds, and 6.5 assists.
