Cleveland Cavaliers point guard Ricky Rubio is aiming to end his yearlong absence due to a torn left ACL on Thursday against the Portland Trail Blazers.
Per ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski, Rubio plans to practice Wednesday and will suit up Thursday "if all goes well."
Rubio suffered the injury against the New Orleans Pelicans on Dec. 28, 2021. The 32-year-old averaged 13.1 points, 6.6 assists, 4.1 rebounds and 1.4 steals in 34 games (eight starts) prior to the injury.
