Before his injury, Rubio was having one of the top seasons of his career. He was averaging a career-high-tying 13.1 points, along with 6.6 assists and 4.1 rebounds for the fifth-placed in the East Cavaliers.
Per Cavaliers:
Cavaliers guard Ricky Rubio left Tuesday night’s road game at New Orleans in the fourth quarter with a left knee injury and did not return to action. Further examination of the injury postgame and a MRI administered today at Cleveland Clinic Sports Health revealed a torn anterior cruciate ligament (ACL). Rubio will miss the remainder of the 2021-22 season and his status will be updated as appropriate.
