INDEPENDENCE, Ohio -- Cleveland Cavaliers injured guard Ricky Rubio took the biggest step yet in his recovery from a torn ACL, getting clearance to participate in 5 on 5.
“He’s back,” Cavs coach J.B. Bickerstaff said following Thursday’s practice at Cleveland Clinic Courts. “He’s going to start doing more and more. More 5 on 5 and those types of things. He’s been given the green light to do that. Now it’s the progression that he has to go through to get ready to play in an NBA game. It’s something we won’t rush. But he’s heading in the right direction.”
