Ricky Rubio logs double-double before leaving with injury

Ricky Rubio narrowly missed a triple-double in Tuesday’s loss to the Pelicans finishing with 27 points, 13 rebounds, nine assists, two steals, and two blocks. Unfotunately, Rubio went down with what looked to be a pretty serious knee injury and was unable to return to the game.
Fantasy Impact:
Rubio has been a major part of the Cleveland Cavaliers suprising success this season. It would be a major blow to the team if he has suffered a serious knee injury, which unfortunately looked to be a real possibility. Rubio went down in the closing minutes as he appeared to slip with his left knee giving out on a drive to the paint. He was in obvious pain and grabbed at his knee immediately, subsequently not being able to put any weight on it as teammates had to help him to the locker room. Fantasy managers will have to hope his MRI comes back clean, but this one didn’t look good. With Collin Sexton (knee) already out for the season and Darius Garland (COVID-19) currently in the protocols, the Cavs are running thin at backcourt options.
