Ricky Rubio and his family are reportedly "disappointed" in the decision to fire GM David Kahn, sources told Ric Bucher.
We're taking this with a huge grain of salt. Bucher reports that the disappointment stems "largely because Kahn is the one who stuck his neck out and drafted Rubio knowing he couldn't come over right away and did a lot of the legwork to expedite the start of Rubio's NBA career." We think Rubio and his family will be just fine. May 8 - 8:48 AM

Ricky Rubio - G - Timberwolves

Ricky Rubio said that his knee is now 100 percent healthy, and he will play for Spain in the European Championship in September.

Rubio was upset when he wasn't able to play for his country during the 2012 offseason, but he'll be able to give it a go this time around. The bigger news here is that his knee is 100 percent sound and he should enter training camp firing on all cylinders after being limited when he initially returned this year.

Ricky Rubio - G - Timberwolves

Ricky Rubio shot 2-of-9 from the field for six points with four boards, four assists, two steals and one turnover on Monday.

He's coming off a career-high 24 points on Saturday and came back to Earth today. Rubio has been one of the best assets in fantasy leagues down the stretch, leading the NBA in steals and assists since the All-Star break.

Ricky Rubio - G - Timberwolves

Timberwolves owner Glen Taylor has yet to decide whether he will retain David Kahn as GM next season.

Kevin Love's hand injuries, and his recent knee surgery, have prevented the Wolves from truly evaluating the team that Kahn put together. They also face a tumultuous offseason with uncertain futures for Rick Adelman, Andrei Kirilenko, Brandon Roy and Nikola Pekovic, among others. "Glen and I talk all the time," Kahn said. "My sense is that we'll be working on this for a while."

Ricky Rubio - G - Timberwolves

Ricky Rubio scored a career-high 24 points to lead the Wolves to a road win on Saturday, making 8-of-18 FGs and 7-of-7 FTs with five rebounds, 10 assists and five steals.

Talk about a bounce-back performance -- Rubio came in shooting 9.7 percent from the field in the Wolves' past three games (3-of-31). His legs are tired and he's playing through a sore left shoulder, but he was inspirational tonight against a Suns team which is giving up 104.8 points per game in April. Let's hope he closes the season strong vs. the Jazz on Monday and the Spurs on Wednesday.

Rick Adelman said Ricky Rubio is "fighting through" his current shooting slump.

Rubio has managed to make just 3 of his last 31 shots from the field over a three-game span. "He has come a long way from the start of the year with the (knee) injury and everything else," Adelman said. The coach did add that Rubio's shot looked "flat," and said that Rubio's legs might be "a little tired." The good news is Rubio's shoulder is fine, so owners don't need to worry about that.

Ricky Rubio - G - Timberwolves

Ricky Rubio hit just 2-of-8 shots for six points and seven assists in 23 minutes in Wednesday's loss.

He was 0-for-10 on Tuesday and may be hitting a wall as he deals with a sore left shoulder. All signs point to him continuing to play through it, but with the Wolves having nothing left to play for, it wouldn't be all that surprising if he misses a game or two in the final week of the season.

Ricky Rubio - G - Timberwolves

Ricky Rubio missed all 10 of his shots to finish with five points, five rebounds, six assists and a steal in 22 minutes of Tuesday's loss to the Warriors.

Yuck. Rubio is playing through a left shoulder injury, so he's not really playing at 100 percent. The Wolves don't have much to play for, but it does appear that Rubio is a likely candidate to finish out the season.

Ricky Rubio - G - Timberwolves

Ricky Rubio (shoulder) is expected to play against the Warriors on Tuesday.

Rubio had his shoulder wrapped and in ice after Saturday's game, but he's expected to play through the issue. It's not clear how serious the injury is or exactly what he's dealing with, but we can't imagine it's major if the Wolves are letting him play through it at this point of the season.

Ricky Rubio is dealing with an injury to his left shoulder.

Rubio injured the shoulder in the third quarter of Saturday's game, and when asked if he'd be alright, Rubio replied with a simple "I hope so." The Wolves don't play again until Tuesday against the Warriors, so owners will have to keep a careful watch on this situation and check back for updates. If Rubio misses any time, Luke Ridnour and J.J. Barea would benefit.

Ricky Rubio - G - Timberwolves

Ricky Rubio scored 10 points with five boards, six dimes and five more steals on Saturday, but he finished 1-of-13 from the field and 8-of-9 from the FT line.

He's been phenomenal lately and he still chipped in some goodies tonight, but Rubio's jumper remains the one area he can clearly improve -- he's shooting 41.5 percent from the field over the past month, a number sure to sink after tonight's brick-laying competition.
Apr 6 - 11:01 PM
Ricky Rubio - G - Timberwolves

Ricky Rubio knocked down a career-high five 3-pointers on his way to 19 points, four rebounds, 12 assists, and a career-high eight steals vs. the Bucks on Wednesday.

Rubio just single-handedly won the fantasy championship for many of his owners, and his late-season surge is amazing to watch. He's shooting just 23.4 percent from downtown this year, but he hit 32.4 percent in March and if he develops a reliable 3-point shot his fantasy value will go through the roof. He also had a career-high eight turnovers tonight, but who's counting?
Apr 3 - 10:19 PM
Ricky Rubio - G - Timberwolves

Ricky Rubio scored a career-high 23 points against the Grizzlies on Saturday to go with 10 boards, nine assists, one steal and one 3-pointer in 40 minutes.

It was also his second game of the year with double-digit boards and he just missed his second triple double- This was an impressive showing for Rubio since the Grizzlies allow the least amount of points to opposing guards in the NBA and he shot 6-of-12 from the field, too. He'll likely wind up on a lot of championship head-to-head teams at this rate.

Ricky Rubio - G - Timberwolves

Ricky Rubio was unfazed by a groin injury and played 32 minutes in Thursday's loss, scoring 12 points to go along with seven rebounds, nine assists and three steals.

He shot just 4-of-13 from the floor and didn't make a three, but he had just one turnover and flirted with a triple-double so his owners have to be happy. Rubio should continue to be an asset the rest of the season and is averaging 12.7 points, 6.1 rebounds, 8.4 assists and 2.9 steals since the All-Star break. To put that into context, he was averaging 7.8 points, 2.5 rebounds, 6.5 assists and 1.8 steals prior to the break.
