Timberwolves hope to have Ricky Rubio back for Sunday's game vs. Clippers
Rubio missed a game with an ankle injury
The Timberwolves scratched starting point guard Ricky Rubio from Friday’s game at Sacramento because of soreness in his surgically repaired left ankle and replaced him with second-year guard Zach LaVine against the Kings’ Rajon Rondo, a former All-Star who is starting to play like one all over again with the Kings.
Wolves Vice President of Sports Performance Arnie Kander said the team is taking a very cautious approach. The ankle is sore, but the injury is unrelated to the injury that limited him to 22 games last season.
He said the team will limit Rubio’s workload in practices and scrimmages in an effort to keep him healthy all season and will aim at him playing Sunday in Los Angeles against the Clippers.
