Minnesota's Ricky Rubio (back) remains sidelined on Saturday

Minnesota Timberwolves point guard Ricky Rubio (back) will not play in Saturday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers.

What It Means:

Rubio will miss his second straight game after Minnesota's point guard experienced back spasms. In an uptempo opportunity against a Philadelphia unit playing with a 101.1 pace, Jordan McLaughlin is on track to play more minutes again on Saturday.

McLaughlin's current projection includes 6.9 points, 3.0 rebounds, and 6.4 assists.
