Ricky Rubio returned to training yesterday in the discipline of a team, the Barafor the first time since Tuesday August 1 when he was at the national team’s concentration in Madrid and began to feel unwell to announce days later, on the 5th, who abandoned the active practice of basketball for a mental health problem. The genius from El Masnou jumped onto the Palau field, he was seen happy, with a smile, in an environment that he considered ideal to test himself: surrounded by the friends with whom he won the Euroleague in 2010: Navarro, director of the section, Grimau, coach, who saw him very well (“it seems that he has not been stopped”) and Sada, assistant.

The Bara has kept in touch with Ricky in recent weeks because he and Navarro maintain a great relationship that goes beyond the professional. Yesterday is not Ricky’s first contact with basketball. Has been training for the last month, but alone, doing work on the court. I wanted to see how he feels in the dynamics of a team, in training with some contact, in a favorable context like the Blaugrana, with many teammates with whom he has coincided in the national team: Willy Hernangmez, Parra, Brizuela.
February 7, deadline
Barça, as expected, has opened the doors to help his recovery in every way possible. For obvious reasons, would be the best placed club to undertake a hypothetical signing, in case Ricky decided resume his professional career, once his departure from the NBA has been resolved.
As of today there is nothing agreed upon or closed. Bara is being absolutely respectful of Ricky’s times, who is testing himself, as he himself announced that he was going to do. Now, yes Ricky makes up his mind, the Bara will welcome him with open arms. February 7 could be a key date to know Ricky’s steps: the transfer deadline in the Euroleague ends.
Ricky Rubio in the NBA: 10 minutes of pure magic on the park
With a skilled player in the squad (it can be 16) and economic margin for the signing, Bara can find great reinforcement in Ricky. His situation is reminiscent of that of Pau Gasol, what He addressed the latest treatment of his physical recovery in the Barça discipline, before being announced as a signing on February 23, 2021.24 hours before the deadline to register players in the Euroleague.
