Wolves’ Ricky Rubio suffers sprained ankle
Ricky Rubio left Friday's 112-103 overtime loss at Orlando after a frighteningly ankle injury just before halftime that the team calls a sprain.
Almost a week to the exact hour after he signed a four-year, $55 million contract extension, Rubio badly rolled his left ankle on a drive to the basket that drew a foul with 2 minutes, 28 seconds left in the second quarter but also left him on the floor underneath the basket in agony.
X-rays taken immediately showed no fracture, but Rubio made his way back to the locker room at halftime on crutches with his ankle wrapped.
