Cleveland Cavaliers guard Ricky Rubio left Tuesday night’s road game at New Orleans in the fourth quarter with a left knee injury and did not return to action.
Further examination of the injury postgame and a MRI administered today at Cleveland Clinic Sports Health revealed a torn anterior cruciate ligament (ACL).
Rubio will miss the remainder of the 2021-22 season.
Per Cleveland.com, “this is the second time he has torn his left ACL. The first time came in 2012 when he was a member of the Timberwolves.”
