Per JayZ he's now listed as questionable on the injury report where he had been listed as probable for the three games he's missed.

when he's probable he's out. Man the dude is probably dying if he ends up being doubtful for a game

I'm giving rubio the benefit up to this season. I would like to think we are just being cautious with him since he just come back from a big layoff.

But if this continues next season then we might have to think about a new long term pg. Im a fan of rubio and its evident that we do much better with him than without him but he has got to stay on the floor. I'm giving him this year and I still see him along with wig and KAT as our core 3 for now but he has to stay on the court. I will not be as giving to rubio next season if this persist.

This has come as a huge surprise to me !

if your in it this long, you might as well be in forever. The endless debate of Rubio can't end!

Another reason why trading Kevin Martin for Darren Collison makes sense. Collison is capable of starting and keeping the ship afloat. 14 PPG / 6 APG / 3 RPG with a TS% of .557 in 33 MPG as a starter for his career. You'd think he'd be available with the way Rondo's playing and Karl's benching of McLemore.

I agree with this. I proposed a martin for collison swap back during draft time. I'm all for this deal.

Yup, very troubling indeed.

The thing about his body is that it seems like it has a very difficult time recovering. The ankle sprain took for freakin' ever to get back from, and even then, he ultimately needed surgery. Then he had some other ailment that kept him out of most of the preseason. Now it's this.

I can't blame Ricky, as he's a big-time competitor. Unfortunately, it appears that his body is failing him.

We don't have a backup plan fellas. It sure as hell isn't Zach LaVine or Tyus Jones.....

Yep Q this is what I said in the Tyus thread I wonder if his body just isn't up to the task.

I think Tyus might be a backup option at least in the eyes of some fans and maybe some current people in the Wolves organization. I bet Flip believed Tyus had a chance or he wouldn't have wanted him so bad.

Kevin Durant is out 7 to 10 days with a hamstring strain, coming back from an extended injury layoff. Let's flush him down the toilet with Rubio, too... ;-)
