Ricky Rubio just misses triple-double
Ricky Rubio - G - Minnesota Timberwolves
Feb. 14, 2013 - 2:30 AM ET
Ricky Rubio hit just 3-of-13 shots and zero 3-pointers, but drained 12-of-13 free throws for 18 points, nine rebounds, 10 assists, four steals and a block in Wednesday's loss.
He's back! Rubio is on fire right now, averaging 15.0 points, 3.8 rebounds, 9.2 assists and 2.6 steals over his last five, but is shooting just 38 percent over that stretch. His shooting will always be a problem, but he's doing enough across the board to make him a must-start player now that his knee injury appears to finally be behind him.
