Early January, Ricky Rubio was released from his contract by the Cavaliers. After taking a break from his career to take care of his mental health, the Spanish leader announced that his “NBA career is over”.
But, at 33, that doesn't necessarily mean his basketball career is over. On X/TwitterRicky Rubio has just announced that he is returning to the gym!
“I wanted to let you know that the time has come to enter the final phase of my healing. I've been thinking about it for a few weeks and, after working on my body and my mind, I have the desire and the strength to see how I react with a ball in my hands. The next step was to ask FC Barcelona if I could, without any commitment and without interrupting their season, train with them” he explains like this. “I thank you in advance for your help and your understanding of my situation. Finally, I would like to thank everyone who helped me throughout this process, as well as for respecting my privacy. »
For the moment, there is therefore no question (yet) of a return to the Spanish championship or the Euroleague for the MVP of the 2019 World Cup, but this return to training within the club in which he played before his arrival in the NBA, from 2009 to 2011, seems to be a step in this direction.
