Then, it was time for the official announcement. “My next step was to ask FC Barcelona if I could, without any commitment and without interrupting their seasonal plans, train with them. I want to thank in advance for the help and understanding of my situation. Finally, I wanted to thank everyone who has shown their respect and support in this process, as well as I appreciate the respect for my privacy in this journey”, the Spanish magician also added.

More on this storyline
After announcing his retirement from the NBA with an emotional letter, Ricky Rubio is slowly taking steps to come back to the court. However, he won’t return straight to playing action, making a necessary step in between. With a message on his social media profile, he officially said he would return to a familiar place in Catalunya. “Hello everyone. I wanted to communicate with you along these lines that the time has come to enter the final phase of my recovery I’ve been going around for a few weeks now, and after a long time working body and mind, I see myself with desire and strength to see how I react with a ball in my hands”, he first said. -via EuroHoops.net / January 29, 2024

The Dominican big of the Minnesota Timberwolves appeared on the latest episode of Podcast P with Paul George Presented by Wave Sports + Entertainment. “The first person that welcomed me into Minnesota was Ricky,” recalled the three-time NBA All-Star discussing his favorite moments with Rubio, “He took me to a restaurant in Minnesota and just showed me around the city. Drove me around the city, showing me spots I should know about and just really welcomed me to Minnesota and made me feel comfortable. I just think that’s how Ricky always is with all of his teammates, he makes everyone feel so comfortable, so loved and cared for. Not even talking about him as a basketball player…but just as a human.” “I’m forever grateful to him for making me a better man,” he added. -via EuroHoops.net / January 11, 2024
