The name Ricky Rubio hasn’t been heard of much this season because he hasn’t played a single game so far, and it will likely remain that way. The Cleveland Cavaliers‘ point guard has been with the team for three seasons and this journey might come to an end as sources paint a picture that suggests the two parties cutting ties.

This comes amidst Donovan Mitchell‘s trade rumors that involve the Knicks keeping a close eye on him, although the Cavaliers are not keen on letting him go, and are trying to work out a contract extension. The Cavs already have a lot on their plate having to deal with multiple injuries, so the idea of letting go of a dormant player like Ricky isn’t too far-fetched.
