Rubio done for the season

bad news for the wolves

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Ricky Rubio will miss the rest of the season after an MRI revealed a torn ACL in his left knee, a league source told SI.com on Saturday. Rubio was injured in the closing seconds of Minnesota's 105-102 loss to the Lakers on Friday night. The expected six-to-nine month recovery time means Rubio will not only miss the rest of the season but will most likely be unable to suit up for Spain in the Olympics this summer. SI.com

WOW ... that's terrible !

This makes me so depressed. My favorite team to watch this season so far. Feel bad for Love and the rest of them too, wow, so terrible. Hope it's a faster than expected recovery!

 

[ozballer23]

They finally started to look like they were heading in the right direction!

 

[GarnettFan4Life]

So many player injuries this season too, couldn't have been a ankle sprain or fast recovery could it, had to be the big one. Brutal

 

[ozballer23]

Maybe instead of trading Ridnour before the trade deadline isnt an option anymore!

Go LARS! Get him back asap! Massive blow for Wolves and the game.

hopefully it doesn't affect his career in the long run.

Yep..... seen that on ESPN and wow that really really sucks!

 

[aussiemjfreak]

That blows really hard! Poor kid!

Wolves should sign Arenas to fill the gap left by this injury.

I HATE THIS!! It really sucks! Loved Watching Rubio and Hearing About him! Was So excited to be able to watch him on TV during the Olympics but now Thats Not going to Happen!

 

[WhiteyTheCelticsFan]

I don't think this is something to cry about?

 

[Matty4292]

Oh WOW... It didn't look that bad!

 

[Jordan_23]

bad news for wolves fans and Spain, on the other side of the fence hopefully good news for his over inflated card prices

Yea read it, very shocking!

 

[loafic]

im friggin spewing... loooooove watching him play - very playful and joyous when he's on court, really looks natural and like he's enjoying himself

 

[lukesicari]

Heartbroken for him. He was looking like he was going to take the Wolves to the playoffs for once and now he does his ACL.....

I think it's even worst for the Wolves in general. The team was FINALLY looking like they were going to the playoffs and the seasons of losing was over. It's a terrible thing for the team. And now the ticket sales well go down etc.

Just a terrible thing to happen
