Ricky Rubio (knee) ruled out for Cavaliers on Friday
Cleveland Cavaliers point guard Ricky Rubio (left knee injury management) has been ruled out for Friday against the New Orleans Pelicans.
What It Means:
The Cavaliers have another game on Saturday versus the Chicago Bulls, so Rubio will rest for the first half of the back-to-back and then likely return for the second. Raul Neto and Caris LeVert will have more minutes available in the backcourt on Friday night in New Orleans.
Rubio is averaging 22.4 FanDuel points in 18.6 minutes over the last five games, with 7.8 points, 3.0 rebounds, 5.2 assists, 1.2 steals and 1.4 3-pointers per game.
