Ricky Rubio, transferred to the Indiana Pacers

Ten years after making his NBA debut, and just as he was starring in one of his best games, Ricky Rubio suffered a serious injury: a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee. So he said goodbye to the season. “Difficult roads always lead to beautiful destinations,” the player wrote on his Instagram account.

Rubio injured his left knee with two minutes to go before the Cavs lost to the New Orleans Pelicans (108-104). At that time he accumulated 27 points, 13 rebounds and 9 assists. Ricky grabbed his knee instantly with gestures of pain and his concern increased when he recalled that it was the same joint in which the anterior cruciate ligament and external lateral ligament had been broken in March 2012. He left the pavilion with crutches. . “It’s very hard. We’re devastated, it hurts us all,” said teammate Kevin Love.
