Wristy Business



My main man, Ricky Rubio, will miss the Euroleague preseason with surgery for a wrist injury. Although he's supposed to only miss the preseason, but you never know. I hope he's able to rebound soon and hit the Euroleague regular season pavement running.

From Euroleague.net:
DKV Joventut teenage superstar Ricky Rubio will undergo surgery on his right wrist, the club announced Monday. Rubio has been sidelined for the entire preseason due to this hand injury and will undergo a wrist arthroscopy as soon as tomorrow to investigate if ligaments are damaged. The arthroscopy will also allow DKV Joventut to estimate how long Rubio will be sidelined. Rubio helped Joventut to win the Spanish King's Cup and the ULEB Cup titles with Joventut last season, as well as reaching the 2008 Olympic final with Spain this summer.

Oh no! Say it ain't so. Hope this doesn't portend a career full of breaks and sprains. Is he fragile? He looks pretty tiny in that photo, a far cry from the vicious rubber ingester pictured earlier on this blog.

Certainly, you speak some sooth, Johnnie. While his recent injury bespeaks of a certain frailty at this juncture of his career, I'd guess we'll see a much stronger Rubio 2 years from now than the not-yet 18-year-old we see now.

He'll bounce back, mind you. That rubber wasn't ingested in vain.

Holy comments Ev-Man! I guess there isn't anything to keep him from steroidin' it up for the next few weeks/months right?
