More on this storyline
Desperate for both help in the backcourt, and a roster spot, the Cleveland Cavaliers and Ricky Rubio have begun discussing a potential parting of ways, according to league sources. Rubio, 33, has been on permitted leave in Spain from the team since the summer as he manages his mental health and there are serious doubts about whether he ever plays again, league sources said. At minimum, Rubio is not expected back this season. -via The Athletic / December 20, 2023
Rubio is making $6.1 million this season and his contract for next year is guaranteed at $4.25 million. The Cavs and Rubio’s representatives could negotiate a buyout of a substantial portion of the contract. They could also waive him and “stretch” the payments of his remaining salary over a longer period, or, perhaps, include his contract in a trade. Cleveland’s front office wants to do right by Rubio, whom the organization still considers a major piece of the team’s resurgence during the 2021-22 campaign, when the Cavs went from the worst team in the NBA over the previous three years to a Play-In team. -via The Athletic / December 20, 2023
Rubio averaged 5.2 points in 33 games last season, but just prior to the start of the FIBA World Cup, in which he was supposed to play for Spain, Rubio stepped back from both his national team and the Cavs for his mental health, as he manages an ongoing family issue. He is not believed to be engaging in basketball activities to stay sharp, sources said. -via The Athletic / December 20, 2023
