BADALONA (ACB) – Spain’s 17-year-old point guard at the Olympics, Ricky Rubio, is to have minor surgery on the wrist injury that sidelined him for DKV Joventut’s pre-season and their ACB opener at Regal Barcelona.
The arthroscopy will allow doctors to discover if Rubio has suffered ligament damage. They will then consider what the next step in his recovery should be.
Rubio had a sensational season last year for DKV, helping the club win the Copa del Rey and the ULEB Cup on his way to being voted to the ACB’s Ideal Quintet.
He played on Aito Garcia Reneses’ Spain national side at the Olympics, helping the team win a silver medal.
DKV need their talisman now more than ever following the departure of fellow Spain international Rudy Fernandez to the NBA’s Portland Trail Blazers.
They suffered a 95-77 defeat at Barcelona.
