Ricky Rubio said Monday that he will wait until the regular season ends before turning his full attention to his ability to play for his beloved Spain in the European championships during the offseason.
After playing in only 22 games for the Wolves this year because of injuries to his left ankle, Rubio said he is going to make getting healthy his biggest priority of the summer. Thanks to that injury and a torn left ACL in his rookie year, Rubio has only played one full season in his NBA career.
"I haven't been healthy and I owe this team a lot," Rubio said before the Wolves departed for a four-game road trip. "In four years, I have one good season, an 82-game season. I owe this team a lot."
