The Last Dance ? A documentary in his honor is doubted, but the 2023/24 season might well be Ricky Rubio’s last in the United side. The source ? Ricky himself in the Spanish podcast The Cassock.
To begin, a brief update on Ricky’s contractual situation. The point guard signed last summer with the Cleveland Cavaliers a three-year, $18 million contract, the last year of which is only partially guaranteed. To put it simply, if Cleveland is not happy in twelve months, it’s a flight to Barcelona and a cross on a check for 2 million from Rubio.
After a great 2021/22 half-season ended following a nasty knee injury and a trade, the Spaniard returned to the Cavs this year. Unfortunately, advancing age and creaking knee, RR clearly hasn’t had the same impact on the Ohio franchise this season, who will surely not hesitate to find a new back-up for Darius Garland in the summer. Basically, the medium-term future of Ricard in the league is really not guaranteed, and our friend even seems ready to draw a line under the American dream.
“I’m starting to think regarding my return. Going home, to Barcelona.” –Ricky Rubio
In view of his last months in the NBA, we would almost tend to confirm his choice. Not that Ricky is completely burnt out, but his adventure in the US was made up of ups and downs, despite a slick game and a very European skill of the pass as we like them. It might be time to move on.
So a Rubio with a few more canes that will delight us in the EuroLeague for a few more years, we say yes!
